A sensitive restoration of an ornate Victorian wood-panelled room, bringing tired, heavily varnished joinery back to a clean, natural-looking finish. Gentle, controlled surface cleaning revealed the timber character across the wall panelling, carved fireplace surround, crown moulding and statement doorway while retaining the room's period detail.

What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
The work covered the room's decorative wall panels, carved fireplace surround, crown moulding and elaborate timber doorway with pediment. Existing dark varnish, staining and accumulated surface grime were carefully reduced using a measured restoration process suited to detailed historic joinery, leaving the timber evenly prepared for its next finish rather than aggressively cutting into the surface.
