The British Antique Furniture Restorers’ Association is the foremost national organization of craftsmen engaged in furniture conservation and restoration and was founded in 1979 to safeguard interests of owners and buyers of antique furniture and the antique trade.

It seeks to act as a bridge between qualified conservator-restorers’ and those whose love of antique furniture requires the highest standards of conservation and restoration.

You can find a restorer, browse their knowledge base or FAQ, read published articles, and many more things.

You can become a member if you have at least five years as a conservation-restoration professional (the average member today has 23 years experience) and pass exacting assessment on their skills, knowledge and business credentials.
