Anne Martin & her team have been restoring, french polishing & re-upholstering antique & modern furniture and interior woodwork since 1985, originally operating from Stirling, then Kinbuck Mills near Dunblane, before moving to Alloa. Most clients are from the Stirling, Hillfoots, Perthshire & Falkirk areas, but also as far afield as Italy and the USA.
Anne's background is in antique restoration & conservation, but our skills have grown & diversified over the years to meet the most unusual requests. We have been commissioned to restore life size carved black forest bears, a silver cross pram, an altar table, judo club matting, yacht seating and ‘cinema’seats.
Our clients include the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum and Victoria Hall, Dunblane.
We can supply a wide range of upholstery fabrics & leathers.
Today, as well as treasured heirlooms and auction snips, we are kept busy restoring modern classics, such as G-plan, Nathan, MacIntosh, Ercol, Reid; as a growing awareness that many timbers once in abundance are unobtainable today, and the folly of putting quality furniture to landfill.
We can provide cost effective repairs to extend the life of your everyday furniture. For example:
- re-surfacing a damaged table top
- repairing broken sofa springs or framework
- repairing a wobbly dining chair
- replacing sagging sofa cushion fillings
- seating adaptations such as raising or firming
- desk leather/leatherette replaced
Our French polisher is skilled in matching colours and finishes; we can alter wood shades to your requirements.
An extensive range of upholstery fabrics & leathers is available to transform your old
upholstery.
Paint & varnish stripping to traditional doors & facings.
A collection & delivery service is available for larger items or the housebound.
