FOUR GENERATIONS OF FURNITURE RESTORATION To my knowledge, the name Christy and restoration
goes back at least four generations. My great
grandfather, grandfather and my father were all street traders in London,
mainly chair caning, china riveting and carpet and rug repairs, on site
and under street gas lamps at night. In 1968 my grandfather and father taught me to cane chairs for pleasure, and at the age of 13 I finished my first bentwood chair. I was soon repairing chair frames, rush seating, and restoring furniture. I worked for and was taught by a master upholsterer
for five years, caning repairing and polishing chair frames tables and
all kinds of antiques, while continuing to study furniture restoration. I then perfected my skills with a team of excellent restorers specialising in all aspects of restoration. Christy Antiques Restoration was established in 1989 where an extensive client base of antique dealers, auction houses, cathedrals, antique collectors and private customers has built up throughout the U.K., Europe and the U.S.A. Today the family tradition continues with my son working alongside his father.
