| I feel that I connect with the traditional methods of the past and the craftsmen that used them. I enjoy being part of the creativity and craftsmanship of the Regency, Victorian and Edwardian periods.
During his apprenticeship Marcus also produced sofas for top London designers which helped hone his attention to detail and ability to achieve superb results. Based in an historic Regency coach house in Cheltenham, Marcus specialises in restoring antique French and English furniture. |
Marcus also creates hand crafted bespoke items to meet the specific requirements of clients looking for something special; whether this be rejuvenating old furniture or creating something entirely new.
Helping to combat the environmental impact of mass produced furniture is also a passion for Marcus. Marcus’s objective is to use responsibly resourced, non-toxic and environmentally friendly upholstery materials to “up-cycle” vintage sofas and chairs.
