Hampshire Antique Restoration
Antique Dealers in Southampton, Hampshire
Welcome to the new Hampshire Antique Restoration website. My name is David Burton and I have been actively involved in the area of fine antique furniture and its conservation & restoration since 1983. From 1991 I was able to begin taking on private commission work for private and trade customers. I have an HND (distiction) in furniture restoration and have recently Graduated from West Dean College with a Graduate Diploma in antique furniture and related objects conservation. This led me into work for various trade customers, private customers, and several work for my local country houses. You can see extracts from my portfolio here

Together we specialise in the conservation/restoration of 17th - 19th Century clocks. This important movement was manufactured by the London firm DENT - most famous for producing the movement for London "Big Ben". After careful dismantling and cleaning the movement is re-assembled, lubricated and ready to run. The valuable patination of the old brass is still in tact due to professional and ethical treatment.
