About Us

In the world of Decorative Restoration, there can be no greater accolade than the Royal Warrant from Her Majesty the Queen. It signifies workmanship of the highest standard and the ability to consistently maintain those standards through every aspect of the work. Clough Harris was granted the Royal Warrant in 2006, and George Clough RVM (co-director), was honoured personally by Her Majesty for his part in the restoration of Windsor Castle, following the great fire in 1992.

The work for which Clough Harris is widely renowned, can be found in myriad buildings, public and private, throughout Britain and abroad. They include Churches, Castles & Stately Homes, Museums, Galleries & Public Monuments. A most recent undertaking was the complete re-gilding of the Victoria Memorial which stands in front of Buckingham Palace.

Decorative Restoration demands a mastery of all aspects of decorating, fused with a thorough knowledge of materials and techniques both ancient and modern. These include Gilding, Stencilling & Fine Ornamentation; Marbling, Wood graining & Broken Colour Finishes; Imitation Stone, Trompe L’oeil & Freehand Artwork, Paper-hanging and all forms of traditional Painting.

Clough Harris’s services also include Furniture Restoration and Reproduction, Upholstery and French Polishing. They provide Colour Consultation as well as Design, Scheme Development and Project Management.
