I recently entrusted Artabelle Furniture Making and Restoration with the repair of furniture damaged in my move from Australia to the UK. One piece, an entertainment armoire, was structurally compromised to the point I wondered if it could be repaired. Another, an antique, is very dear to me and, though the damage was minor, it was important that it be mended with care. Isabelle and her partner worked together beautifully: talking out the challenges, considering options and, finally, applying complementary skills to fix all four pieces. I am very happy with the result. On top of the good work, they were a pleasure to deal with, communicating often and well – and they are just nice people to have around.
