“A.J. Brett has restored several pieces of furniture for us and we have been delighted with the results. They recently restored an Art Deco dining table and two matching chairs. The suite is bird's eye maple and much loved. The table was damaged by removers and two of the chairs had lost some veneer. When they were returned it was impossible to tell where the damage had been. All of the staff we have encountered have been most courteous and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending the company. ”

“Having carefully examined the two fauteuils I feel I have to write and say what an incredible job you and your team have done. They really are quite perfect. The painting and the upholstery are magnificent. The springing, the position and the tightness of the fabric, the upholstery nails, the sheer excellence of the upholsterer must be acknowledged. They are a triumph and please be so kind as to convey my admiration and gratitude to all those whose skill is demonstrably beyond compare. I am thrilled and please be assured that I shall be asking your excellent firm to do more work for me in the future. ”

“Our lovely Georgian linen press was in a terrible state, having suffered shocking abuse - broken mouldings, cracked varnish, snapped hinges and horrible hooks screwed directly into the mahogany. A.J.Brett and Co collected it, restored it perfectly and returned it to us with efficiency, charm and exquisite expertise.”

“A J Brett did a great job in bringing back to their original glory my solid oak dining room table and some original 1930's art deco lounge furniture. The damage on one of the chairs has been expertly repaired and it is now impossible to see where the damage was. I would definitely recommend their services.”

“Everyone at A J Brett did an amazing job on my grandmother s furniture. I had five pieces of furniture restored and one stand built. They all look absolutely amazing. They are the same pieces of furniture, but totally transformed, into new beautiful pieces where I can now see the true wood. Great job.”
