Charnwood Antiques

I purchased a lovely Windsor chair from Charnwood Antiques. I was able to inspect several chairs at the workshop & ended up buying a different one to my original intention. Friendly & helpful service throughout.

We are very pleased with the sympathetic restoration of our pair of Victorian dining chairs which were in a sad state. The chairs now sit proudly at each end of the dining room table. We will certainly use Charnwood Antiques again for any further restoration work.

I bought a lovely Victorian chest of drawers from Charnwood Antiques. The whole process was very efficient. I liked the piece of furniture from the photos on the website, but was unable to see it in person. I spoke to Nigel on the phone and he was able to tell me about it, and about the restoration he had carried out. I asked about delivery and he was able to organise that for me at a reasonable cost. When the chest of drawers arrived I was extremely happy. The website photos had been good, but it was even better in reality. A lovely piece of furniture and excellent service. Highly recommend!

I am delighted with my oak coffer purchased from Charnwood Antiques. It arrived well wrapped, beautifully polished, and on time. I would not hesitate to buy from Charnwood again.

We have known Nigel and Nicola of Charnwood Antiques for many years, after first meeting in their former shop. Since then, we have not only purchased a number of high quality items from the Charnwood team, but regularly seek them out for their superb restoration skills. Nigel is especially gifted in the restoration and maintenance of antique clocks. He has fully restored two of our three Georgian long case clocks, has serviced all of them, and has kept a particularly quarrelsome railroad wall clock running when it really didn’t wish to do so. Nigel is a real gentleman with a passion for his profession. He is extremely generous with his time and extensive knowledge. He is always willing to give excellent advice and can turn his hand to most antiques with outstanding results. We have recommended Nigel, Nicola, and Charnwood Antiques to many people and will continue to do so on into the future. Check out Charnwood Antiques for all of your antique treasures, as well as for your restoration requirements. You’ll be glad you did. From Professor Graham & The Reverend Diane Clark

The information given in answer to a series of questions about a clock impressed me as being honestly given, knowledgeable and without spin. I felt the website photos were helpful and the description accurate. Delivery was prompt, it was assembled in my home and the instructions were good.

Wanted to report how pleased we were with Charnwood Antiques restoration service. They were recommended to us by a colleague and from the word go knew exactly what to do to restore two important items of furniture for us.

It was a real joy to have the clock back, up and working. It’s like an old friend coming back to us. Likewise the Welsh chair now restored to pride of place in our Hall. This is a first rate service provided efficiently and at a most reasonable cost. Thanks one again.

We were delighted with our chest of drawers. It was in great condition, and Nigel and the team were incredibly helpful throughout the buying and delivering process.

We have used Nigel and Nicola’s antique restoration services for years - always with a wonderful result.
We have also bought many lovely quality pieces of antique furniture from them too.
They have always been honest and straight forward to work with offering good advice
We would highly recommend them

I have known Nicola and Nigel for many years and they have always delivered excellent customer service and their attention to detail is top class. They have extensive knowledge about antiques and will help you out with any queries that you may have. The restoration of my dining table was amazing!

Nigel is the most knowledgeable, skilled and helpful restorer of antique furniture. We have also bought various items over nearly 20 years.
Nigel has also sought out particular items that we wanted and could not find.

I have, over many years, both bought furniture and clocks from and had items restored by Charnwood Antiques and the service and quality of workmanship in particular has been exceptional in all cases. Thoroughly recommended!

I required a small and inexpensive part to restore an old chest thar I could not obtain any where. When I contacted Nicola, she could not have been more helpful or responsive. She put a great deal of effort into finding what I needed at a very good price. Excellent customer service. Duncan Reid

A great service from start to finish with Charwood Antiques - Nigel is very knowledgeable and pleasure to deal with.

It was a pleasure to meet Nigel, he's passionate about restoration and antiques... delighted with my purchase.

We've been buying from Nigel and Nicola for more than 2 decades now and appreciate the honest advice and superb workmanship. It makes antique buying and ownership a real pleasure.

Excellent service again from Charnwood Antiques. Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient as ever. Thank you!

Great goods
