There are few aspects of restoration that we cannot help you with at Ian Ellis Antique Restoration and French Polishing. From white ring mark removal on a polished surface to full rebuilds of period Antiques. Keeping that perfect patina or making it look like new, we can cater to all your requirements of Antique Restoration.
Major restorations, missing mouldings, damaged carving, gilding touch ups, handles missing, both metal and timber. We can revive the surface of the furniture (clean), or hand strip and traditionally French polish the piece using Shellac, or a sprayed lacquer. The art of restoration is a tricky business.

Ian started his career in 1995 when he was apprenticed as a cabinetmaker by Julian Bridge of the Classic Antiques Workshop (CAW). A small boutique restoration workshop in Sydney's Eastern suburbs. It was here that he was introduced to a whole new world working for what was the Queens Street Woollahra antique set.
There is more to being an Antique Restorer than knowing how to take furniture apart and put it back together. More than knowing how to remove an old finish and replace it with a new one. You need to have an understanding of where the beauty and authenticity of an Antique lies. A mixture of compassion and sympathy for the piece, that when put together with functionality reveals the best path to restore the piece of history that is an Antique.
