Conservation & Restoration of Antiques and Period Properties

Cabinet Making, French Polishing and Upholstery skillsWheathills, Derbyshire, is committed to protecting our heritage and specialises in using traditional materials and methods of Cabinet Making, French Polishing and Upholstery.
Wheathills are experts in the restoration and conservation of antiques, antique furniture, period property interiors and the construction of bespoke handmade furniture.

Upon contacting Wheathills to request a quotation for restoring a piece of furniture we will arrange a mutually acceptable time for the proprietor, Nigel Heldreich, to visit and inspect the piece to be conserved or restored.
A full inspection of the item(s) will take place and the customer will be provided with a verbal assessment of the restoration/conservation work required and the cost. This will be followed up a day or so later with a full written quotation and schedule of works required. It is left to the client whether the work is taken up or not.

The same procedure would be followed for conserving or restoring Period Property interiors.

What is the difference between Restoration and Conservation?

Restoration is returning the antique or period property interior back to how it was originally; Conservation is retaining or securing what is already there
