Furniature restoration

[stellastaff]

Can anyone tell me if there are many furniature restorers around the Malaga to Campillos region?

I have a lovely solid wooden table and matching upholstered chairs that were given to us by my dad when we left the UK. I intend keeping them for a long time as they hold many wonderful memories of my child hood so would like to see them in a better condition than they are!

Good furniture restorers are hard to find, the best spend most of their time working on the Church thrones you see in the Easter parades...others are busy with their own work..restoring to sell and most are very old..its a dying trade..not because people don't want things restored..more because, once they find out the price, they decide not to go ahead unless its something really valuable in some way... Restoring is a slow job..which means time..which means money...if you have time why not trying a DIY job yourself..there are many books available..or try leaving a message in a craft suppliers shop

Thanks Silver...mmm not sure about giving it a go myself though! Looks quite complicated, especially if I want a good job done. Nevermind, i'll keep looking!
