Conservation forms the foundation of Frank’s approach to maintaining furniture. Antique furniture restoration is an unregulated industry that historically has had no standards of best practice. Many times, Frank has seen beautiful antiques significantly devalued and permanently altered by enthusiastic and well-intentioned restorers who aggressively remove original material.

Frank has worked for a number of museums and galleries over the years. The conservation of antique furniture encompasses a wide variety of skills, knowledge and techniques. Frank is continually researching, expanding and deepening his knowledge in this highly specialised area where science meets craft. Please browse our website to find out more.
