Our services
Bespoke furniture by Smiths Vintage
We are a small creative furniture workshop where design, craftsmanship and engineering skills come together to craft and sculpt our clients’ ideas into beautiful bespoke pieces of furniture for their homes. Founded and run by Lee & Steve Smith, we work primarily to commission producing one-off pieces of furniture in response to our clients’ design briefs.
If you are interested in having a bespoke piece of furniture made for you we will be happy to discuss any ideas that you have with regards to its design, function, materials and aesthetics. If you don’t have any definite ideas then we will guide you through your thoughts and find what it is you are looking for.

Restoration, French Polishing & Upholstery
Regardless of how old a piece of furniture is, a successful restoration job is one in which an observer cannot see that any restoration work has been carried out in the first place. Repairs need to be subtle and blend in with the existing wooden surround.
Sometimes there might be a cupboard door that’s missing or a damaged piece of carving that needs to be repaired. Through careful selection of wood, colour staining and distressing, the repair will seamlessly blend in and that’s where the real satisfaction from restoration comes.
We work with the customer to ensure that their requirements are met and we also advise when they are unsure about what can be done. We can work to a fixed budget and we always ensure the customer gets maximum value for money and is delighted with the finished result.
Here at Smiths Vintage Furniture, we provide free quotes and estimates to both domestic and commercial customers.
Vintage Furniture
We aim to give you sympathetically restored vintage retro and antique furniture to inspire you and your space. Our products are antique, recycled, reused, sometimes re-imagined and green. Many of these pieces are so well made that they are in effect timeless. Re-using them again but in a modern context will bring character to your contemporary space as well as many years of pleasure. They will also help you to preserve our environment.
What is sympathetic restoration?
We try to let the piece speak to us and express itself as we restore it. Our antique pieces are from all places and periods. The importance lies in the piece itself, in its integrity of purpose and how its story and the skills of its original creator unfold as it is slowly bought back to life with a contemporary touch.
