I'm Aldo Whitfield, a furniture restorer and upholsterer working from a small workshop in the Cotswolds. I repair, re-cane, re-upholster and refinish furniture that's worth keeping — often pieces that have been in a family for generations. check it out see here
Ask about a pieceMost of my work falls into a few categories: chairs that need re-caning or re-upholstering, tables and cabinets with damaged veneer or joints, and the occasional larger project like a chest of drawers that's been neglected in a shed for twenty years. If it's solid wood and structurally sound, it's usually worth restoring rather than replacing.
Re-caning, re-rushing, joint repair and French polishing for dining chairs, carvers and rockers.
Traditional drop-in and stuffed-over upholstery, from footstools to wing-back armchairs.
Veneer repair, drawer runners, wobbly legs and finish restoration on tables and case furniture.
