FURNITURE RESTORERS,
TRADITONAL BLACKSMITHS &
MANUFACTURERS OF PURE BEESWAX POLISHES.
M.E.L. is an established company based in the small rural village of Cartmel,
Cumbria.
Elizabeth, an antique and modern furniture restorer, undertakes all aspects
of
restoration
work.
Michael, a time served
metalworker
and blacksmith,
specialises in handcrafting gates, railings and other decorative metalwork.
Michael and Elizabeth also produce handmade pure
beeswax
polish with turpentine
which is ideal for maintaining the finish on both antique and modern
furniture.
Many people consider blacksmithing and furniture restoration to be an unusual combination. However, the two sides of the business actually complement each other and traditionally the furniture restorer and the blacksmith worked hand in hand.
When restoring antique furniture it is sometimes necessary to replace old nails. In this situation new nails would look out of place so replica handcrafted nails have to be forged using traditional techniques.
Likewise, when restoring cast iron
bench ends it is necessary to renew the wooden seat and back struts. Due
to our woodworking skills this process can be carried out in
house.
