Specialising in the Conservation, Restoration & Maintenance of Antique and Later Furniture

 

 

This is just a quick note to introduce myself in the hope that I may be of some use to you.

 

My name is Nicholas Hill and I am the third generation of antique dealers and furniture restorers from the firm of Jeremy Ltd, London, Est. 1946.

 

In 1991, I started working with our highly successful family firm Jeremy Ltd in London: http://www.jeremyantiques.co.uk/

 

I have moved to the South West and have been running my restoration business down here for 7 years. My skilled work helps to conserve furniture, bringing out the natural beauty of the pieces and prevents high restoration/ replacement costs.

 

I am both passionate and highly knowledgable about furniture, having grown up and worked in this business all my life. I specialise in the conservation, restoration, and maintenance of furniture and wooden surfaces, from rare and fine antiques to modern day, contemporary pieces. I use a combination of 18th century techniques based on traditional English workmanship and cabinet making, as well as working with new materials and finishes (e.g. for modern surfaces).

 

I, therefore, offer a personal service which is unique. I am prepared to come to you personally and work in situ, with the least possible disruption to yourself, and feed your furniture, remove watermarks, surface scratches (e.g. legs of chairs and dining room table legs especially), fix loose veneers, and bring the furniture back to a good colour and fine finish. With 29 years’ experience dealing and working with antiques and collectors alike, I bring the most careful attention to detail and customers’ needs, as well as a keen eye for interior design which comes as second nature. Current clients include the Luxury Family Hotels group, The Nare Hotel, Rosteague Manor, The Place Estate, Hotel Endsleigh, The Horn of Plenty, The Thurlestone Hotel, The Dart Marina Hotel and Spa, and private houses in London, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and abroad.

 

Should you be interested in my services, may I respectfully suggest you drop me a line here. Equally, I am very happy to discuss your furniture maintenance requirements by phone.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Nicholas Hill
