In this video, David Harvey explains a little about the importance of conserving and restoring English Antique Furniture and gives us a fascinating insight into his conservation department!

Sir. I could never afford to buy your furniture but am very grateful for the expertise that you share with the world. I love watching your videos as you have a very warm and welcoming voice and approach to teaching. Thank you and cheers.

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

Dear Alex, Many thanks for your kind comments. We are all passionate about good Antique furniture. David

[@suebaker3307]

Again, a very enjoyable video. I am impressed by your hard work on those filthy surfaces, and seeing the difference clearly shows your experience in what you do best. More please; I love watching them.

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

Dear Sur, I hope you have been following the masterclasses as I continue to publish these as the material comes to hand. It is always a reflection of what is currently on show here in my showrooms. David

It would be very interesting to see more restoration videos. There are too many people who claim to be professionals, but are not, and end up ruining good furniture.

Thank you, David. Excellent topic. Would like a vid on regular care of antique wood furniture, as there are so many different opinions "out there" on what to do.

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

Great suggestion! Keep watching for more videos. David

[@jancie202]

What a difference! Thank you for the demonstration.

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

Your'e very welcome, i hope you continue enjoying our forthcoming ones!

[@bobbiejofouts1708]

Wow! That was impressive! On one hand you stated at the beginning of the video that you advised one not try this unless trained, but on the other hand just a few minutes of work with that cleaner brought out beauty in that furniture most of us would not have known it ever had. Tempting to try, but I don't want to ruin what I have. Thanks for sharing.

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

I shall try to spend more time talking about consrvation in future videos. Glad you are enjoying them. David

[@beiderbecke1927]

I enjoy your videos here, and receive your newsletter in my inbox, which is always informative and entertaining. This video really made a point about stripping vs. cleaning and rejuvenating existing finishes. I'd love to know what you used to clean the surface, rubbing it in with the fine steel wool and wiping off decades of smoke and grime. As always, thank-you for the lesson!

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

So glad you are enjoying this seris of videos. We have had a lot of fun producing them. David

[@paulmaryon9088]

Yet again a fine masterclass, many thanks. What was the cleaner you used? Thank you in anticipation.

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

I would recommend a proprietary furniture reviver/cleaner unless you have restoration experience. David

[@mirjamvanrosmalen8520]

What kind of stuff you use for cleaning the top of the mahogany table? Or is that a secret? Mirjam

[@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd]

Dear Mirjam, We certainly use a number of different mixtures to clean the dirt, dust and accrued smoke etc. from pieces but I am reluctant to recommend any one substance as being better than others. It is very much up to the individual to decide what works best for them but as a starting point I can say that good results can be achieved using Liberon Wax and Polish Remover and Burnishing Cream provided the instructions are followed and due care is taken. With best wishes,, David Harvey
