The love for history and the nostalgia that antique objects evoke when held and handled have led me slowly, over the last 10 years, to transition from an enthusiast collector of antiques to a restorer and dealer of antiques furniture and objects d'art.
There is no greater joy for me to see an antique piece of furniture being sympathetically restored to its former glory following traditional methods and ways.
Whilst in possession of an antique object, I see myself as the custodian of the piece and see it as my responsibility to pass it on to the next custodian in the same, if not better, condition.
