With over 20 years experience, Richard restores cane and wicker furniture with a passion. Attention to detail and an eye for good craftsmanship is something he pursues with every new project. His favourite pieces to restore are wicker doll's prams, especially the well known Eclipse brand.
While I have had wonderful feedback and extremely positive comments over the years, I think the best comments have been regarding the restoration of wicker doll's prams . These prams usually come to me in a dilapidated and very poor condition after years of enjoyable use – damaged wicker hood, torn and discoloured lining, rusted metal chassis and wheels, weathered and flaky paint – almost loved to death! I set about completely stripping and meticulously rebuilding the pram in an authentic manner. The satisfaction I gain from this labour of love is immeasurable and the delight of the owners is worth every ounce of effort. Once restored these wicker doll's prams are generally handed down for the next generation to cherish and treasure for another lifetime.
