The Restored Collection
A Curated Store of Restored Pieces
The Restored Collection features antique and vintage furniture, carefully revived using traditional techniques and available to buy online or by appointment. Each piece is chosen for its design, structure, and the quality of its original materials. We restore every item with respect for its age and craftsmanship — from structural repairs to polishing and upholstery — ensuring it’s ready for use in both traditional and contemporary settings. These are pieces that have already stood the test of time — now restored to continue their story.
What We Restore
At Summerfield + Scott, we focus on practical, well-made furniture with lasting appeal - from 19th-century chests of drawers to antique pine country chairs and simple side tables (add collection links). Each piece is restored at our Northamptonshire workshop, and added to our online collection - ready for delivery in the UK and beyond.
How We Restore Antique Furniture
Craftmanship is at the heart of our Restored Collection. We use a combination of traditional methods chosen to suit each piece. Where needed, we strengthen joints, replace lost elements, or carry out light refinishing. The aim is always the same - to retain the feel of the original while restoring its purpose and integrity.
