Refurbished and ready: Seaton’s French Polishing & Furniture


In a world of flat pack furniture, investing in pieces which will last generations can seem daunting.

With quality refurbishments like those by Seaton’s French Polishing & Furniture Repair in Christchurch, heirlooms can be restored and given a new lease on life – and new real estate in your home.

Mike Fullen has been restoring high calibre furniture made of beautiful woods, by revered designers for over 30 years. “It’s all about craftmanship,” he says. “We can bring something back to life and restore it to its original quality, or alter it to suit your modern needs.”

Recent examples include a buffet sideboard resized, and its exquisite walnut brought back to life; as well as an antique dining table and six chairs. The restoration saved the owners $10,000, compared to buying new.

He began returning furniture to its original glory – or reinventing it – in 1987 and bought it himself in 1991.
