“Charlie and Celia carried out an absolutely superb job with our Georgian mahogany table, it had a nasty water stain and was in dire need of restoration. The workmanship was of excellent quality and the table looks better than it has for years. I highly recommend their work to anyone who wants to put beloved furniture in safe hands.”
