External Staircases


Only a full strip will do with 50 years of neglect


from no hope to 3 georgian ARTIFACTS

I was amazed to find 3 original Georgian floral inserts beneath a mountain of filler and old bolts.  I advised the client to expect the worst as well as a blacksmith bill.  How delighted I was to be wrong .....as 3 original Georgian artifacts were revealed in terrific condition.  

This was a very rare find and highlights my specialist skills bringing the detail back from the Georgian era.
