Hatfields Restoration

Main Content

What we do

Hatfields are world leading craftsmen experienced in restoration, conservation and fabrication. We work with important period objects from the 16th Century to contemporary design. We create new pieces after antique designs, from humidors to breakfront bookcases, as well as realize entirely modern concepts working with famous contemporary designers.

The conservation and restoration workshop includes master craftsmen with experience in diverse media, including lacquer, boulle work, gilding, carving, veneering, metalwork and stone. We repair porcelain teacups, rewire family lighting fixtures as well as re-veneer marquetry cabinets. The conservation teams apply traditional techniques, along with contemporary practices, to analyse and repair all the artworks processed through the studios.

What we do

Our clients range from Claridge’s Hotel to Eton College, from Goodwood House to the Palace of Westminster. We help private collectors, national institutions, galleries and auction houses. We work with architects, curators, interior designers and dealers. Our team are often able to work onsite in England and throughout Europe.
 
We are one very few conservation studios with Inward Processing Approval from HMRC, allowing us to work on pieces from outside Europe without import duties and taxation. Our wide ranging expertise enables us to advise on the conservation and maintenance of diverse collections, not only the antique furniture for which we are most renowned.

I am really impressed by the results we’ve seen from Hatfields. Hatfields Team are efficient and easy to deal with, hugely knowledgeable and experienced in their field, but particularly, their work is sensitive to the integrity of the object. I feel confident that they will not over-restore or lose sight of our wishes.

Having Hatfields and their team help was a great experience for us. The Hatfields team are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional and more especially pleasant. We will definitely use them again. Hatfields knowledge across the board is incredible. They do what they say they’re going to do, their attention to details comes from a feeling that they love the items and artwork as much as you the owner does. An absolute pleasure.
PRIVATE CLIENT 2020
The service that Hatfields provides is second to none. All my clocks look perfect again, the Ormolu is fresh and bright and at last they are chiming again ! The furniture is perfect, and despite extensive work, no restoration is visible or detectable, and I could not be more thrilled. I would not hesitate to recommend Hatfields to anyone wanting a discreet, courteous and efficient restoration of a wide variety of pieces of furniture and I would not go anywhere else.
