I myself Robert Archer started my apprenticeship into antique restoration at the tender age of 16, I loved the idea of restoring something old into something new again. I began learning the art of traditional hand French polishing and privileged to work alongside experts in quality antique restorations and upholstery I learnt not only a beautiful trade but a passion for life.
I later set up Archer’s Antique Restorations and expanded my knowledge with a great team of professional restorers who work alongside me and am proud to provide a high-quality service and expertise to everyone.
We have worked with local homes to provide finishes and restorations to domestic pieces such as tables, chair, bureaus, floor, panelling and stairs. We love seeing the before and after of antique restoration in homes and being able to revive furniture back to life to go on for decades to come.
We have also had the privilege of working and providing services to museums, hotels, retirement homes, embassies, manor houses, country homes and listed properties. Over the years we have also carried out quality antique restorations with PGA golf courses.
We believe that a personal, friendly and dependable service is what everyone deserves and we make every effort to provide this. We do not dismiss any furniture as unrepairable and one of our core principles is to have more sustainability in life including the recycling of antique furniture. We will help you transform your furniture or home back to its former glory.
Ask any of the team at Archers Antique Restorations about their outstanding work and they will say that it is enjoyable and that the passion every member of our team exhibits means we take great pride in delivering high-quality workmanship now and for years to come.

"I have used rob’s services at 2 occasions in the last 3 years on a large antique dresser and on an antique bed. On both his work has been amazing, repairs have blended in the old pieces incredibly seemlessly, attention to detail priceless, polishing/waxing of very high quality. In addition the quote process and timeliness of delivery were very professional and attitude super kind. I would highly recommend him!"
"Rob is brilliant at what he does. He knows wood and cares about bringing out the best in a piece. He restored a sideboard for me and it had intricate patterns. He advised the best course of action after listening to my requirements. The end result is wonderful. His customer service is impeccable and his work beautiful. I would highly recommend him."
"We had a variety of furniture pieces in need of restoration including a Chinese table with inlays, and a Beckstein grand piano. Rob gave clear advice about the management of the restoration, what would be required e.g. to preserve the artwork on the inlaid pieces. He took great care to establish our wishes in detail. We are absolutely delighted with the work. The furniture has never looked so good - amazing finish on tables restored to their former glory. Rob was extremely thorough and professional throughout, allowing discussion and giving appropriate advice. The work on the piano was carried out in situ and everything cleaned up afterwards. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again."
"I've used Archers on many occasions. I find the staff highly skilled and knowledgeable. They come highly recommended."
"Professional and reliable service. Very pleased with the high quality work carried out, on time and to budget. Will definitely use AA's in the future."
"I had old door covered badly in ugly brown paint. Mr Archer removed the paint with high attention to detail and dropped them off at my house. Highly recommended."
