Furniture restoration for Perth

Craig's workshop is in Bankfoot, about nine road miles north of Perth on the old A9. Near enough that a broken chair or a ring-marked table needn't travel far.

A restorer on the Fair City's doorstep

Perth has a long furniture history. Hundreds of wrights worked in the burgh in the 1700s and early 1800s, and plenty of what they and their customers owned is still in the town's flats, villas and farmhouses.

When a piece like that gets damaged, you want it mended by someone local who knows auld furniture, not sent away to a city firm.

Or, in his own words, "feel free to phone for an estimate or just for some advice."
