Mackenzie & Smith restoration workshop at 4 Bull Ring Ludlow.
As well as restoring furniture I often have furniture for sale, mainly pre-1830 pieces with a good colour that I would be happy to live with myself. There are usually more things in the pipeline which haven’t yet been listed here, so do call in to see the latest stock.
If you have any queries please use the contact page of this website, or telephone 01584 877133.
