Many people are fortunate to retain either antique or older period furniture in their homes passed down through generations. It often becomes obvious that the time has come for, not just the upholstered fabrics or leather to be replaced, but also requiring attention are the springs, the wadding and the cushioning. And therein lies the conundrum. Where can the type of Artisans and skilled Craftspeople to complete such a task be found? The answer is simple – call Wills Bisgrove, the renowned leaders in fine furniture restoration.
Whether it is a classic antique, a mid-century modern or a recent contemporary piece, refreshing with new fabric or leather can instantly lift the appearance and comfort of old furniture pieces. Why not consider one of the newer fabrics on offer to bring currency and rejuvenation to your favourite sofa, armchairs and dining chairs. These days Interior Designers often arrange such makeovers adding new life and vibrancy to otherwise classic designs and furniture styles.
Naturally at Wills Bisgrove we don’t just facilitate a change in the coverings alone. Worn out springs, wadding and foam or down cushioning will be replaced prior to recovering.



Now is a great time to browse the fabric house websites to see what’s new and what’s available. Imagine your older, classic lounge suite refreshed and renewed.
