Old Forge Furniture Renovation & Restoration

Old Forge Furniture Renovation & Restoration A wide range of pre loved traditional & unique furniture & accessories in Stalybridge, Cheshire. Closed on Tuesday & Sunday.

With more than 30 years experience in the furniture industry we’ve learned many traditional skills along the way from french polishing and restoration through to chair repair and refurbishment. These skills are becoming rare and we feel passionate about keeping the old trades alive and offering much needed, complimentary services to our customers. RESTORATION
From dusty items found in granny’s at

tic to beautiful forgotten pieces – often a simple restoration can bring a piece back to life to be enjoyed by future generations! REPOLISH
Heat & water damage or a cup ring can often ruin an otherwise ok item – a strip and repolish can renew the surfaces allowing you to keep using that much loved piece. Including modern, solid wood furniture. REPAIRS
There’s nothing more frustrating than a wobbly leg on a chair or table! We use traditional methods where possible to get you back on your feet! PAINT FINISH
For when you’re bored of the colour but can’t justify throwing a perfectly good piece of furniture away! A spray paint finish in a multitude of colour choices can bring the love back to any item – old pine kitchen and bedroom furniture, mirrors, kitchen cupboards/drawers and much more! MADE TO MEASURE
A great service for when you just can’t find a piece to fit – most items can be made to size, design can often be taken from your existing furniture or an item you’ve found during your search! Colour match then completes the look. MODERN FURNITURE
Most solid modern furniture can also benefit from a quick tidy up after a couple of years of use – allowing a much longer life span. GARDEN FURNITURE
Almost all solid wood garden furniture can look as good as new with a strip and finish – we can advise on the best finish for each item to help maintenance once back in the garden.

"One of Stalybridge’s longest running, family businesses to close its doors for the last time!”

Old Forge Furniture on Waterloo Road will be closing the doors for the last time at the end of summer 2016 after almost 50 years of successful furniture sales and restoration in the town.

The difficult decision to end the 50 year legacy was a tough one, with permanent change to
the retail and local economic environment being the deciding factor. The Pickering family would like to thank customers old and new for their much appreciated support over the years and to fellow local business owners for their friendships generated over the past 5 decades.

Founding the business in 1968 Trevor and Moira Pickering started out with a small secondhand shop on Market Street in the town which progressed quickly into french polishing andfurniture restoration. They continued to grow despite the financially uncertain periods in the
80's and 90's, providing uk manufactured solid mahogany, yew and pine furniture, polished
by Trevor or his son Daniel, in the workshop to a stable local economy. Subsequently expanding into The Old Shoeing Forge on Waterloo Road in 1993.

Sadly Trevor passed away in 2007 and the business was consolidated back to one shop
with Moira at the helm until her gradual retirement in 2010. Carrie, Dan's wife, joined the team in 2007bringing marketing, customer service, IT experience and support in the workshop.
Taking over the business at the start of the "credit crunch" provided a challenge that Dan
and Carrie rose to, reinventing the showroom and workshop services to suit the financial
climate whilst maintaining the solidity of the hand chosen furniture and true quality that only
a family business can provide.

A chance has arisen for them to relocate to the beautiful island of Anglesey to live a
more slow paced, wholesome lifestyle by the sea and understandably they've taken the
opportunity!

The exact closing date will be widely advertised towards the end of summer. In the meantime the showroom needs to be emptied of stock – come and make us sensible offer!!
