We're proud to have received this endorsement from Guy Tobin at Rose Uniacke, the internationally renowned furniture restorer and interior designer: "Never ones to ask for a simple job, the expected historical finish or fabric, we are constantly delighted by the pieces returned from Richard Ricardo's workshops. From the first Regency armchair to the most recent job, a pair of 1950s Arctander Clam Chairs, he has hit the quote and surpassed expectations."

This is a pair of Scandinavian chairs from the 50s that I have recently upholstered. They are covered in rabbit fur and the seats are bucketed which makes them very comfortable! This is an example of the contemporary work that I do.
