Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers, and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.

On the work sheet today, a wooden wall clock that’s journeyed from rural Serbia, a dog chewed policeman’s helmet and a fragile angel crafted from stained glass.
The team set to work resurrecting an electronic sound processor, a life-size earthenware dog, a medical school certificate and a pair of child’s rugby boots.
A portable 1960s record player and a flamboyant pair of 1970s boots are revived. Also lovingly restored, a painting by Helene de Beauvoir, sister of French philosopher Simone.
The experts rejuvenate a 1950s hot towel machine for a family of Cypriot barbers, and a ceramic poppy created for the WW1 centenary art installation at the Tower of London.
