During Open
Weekends and our Antique Study Days, we are regularly
asked where to source traditional materials for
restoring antiques and period homes.
The challenge of course is that many of the materials
are specialised items and not normally available
on the High Street or DIY centres. To add to the
problem few places provode a single source to obtain
a wide enough range of proven and complimentary
products, many outlets specialising in a single
area.
So the idea of our 'Traditional Materials At
Wheathills' is about bringing together materials
commonly used by restoration and conservation
professionals, but are hard to find by ordinary
homeowners. Over the next 12 months we will create
a traditional shop at Wheathills stocking almost
everything you need to restore your period home
or furniture using traditional and authentic high
quality materials.
We have created an initial series of special
antique restoration kits comprising a careful selection of
high quality materials and items chosen for their
suitability for sympathetic conservation and restoration
of antiques. All of these items selected are used
daily in the workshops at Wheathills and are highly
recommended for work on antiques and fine furniture.
