About Acorn Polishing
Acorn Polishing was founded in 1986 by James Price, a skilled craftsman who began his career as an apprentice French polisher at just 16 years old. With over 30 years of experience, James has built a reputation across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch for meticulous workmanship, traditional techniques, and a personal approach that bigger firms simply can’t match.
From treasured family heirlooms to hotel refurbishments, Acorn Polishing has become the trusted choice for restoring furniture with care, skill, and passion.
Our Process
Every piece of furniture has a story, and we treat it with the respect it deserves. From the first consultation to the final polish, our process is simple and stress-free.
Collection & Delivery
To make things easy, we offer free collection and delivery within Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. Your furniture is safely transported and handled with the utmost care.
Our Quality Guarantee
Customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. No job is too big or too small, and every client receives the same level of craftsmanship and care. We take pride in delivering results that exceed expectations — restoring not just furniture, but memories.
On-Site or Remote Consultations
We start with a free on-site quotation, where James assesses the piece, discusses your needs, and explains the best approach to achieve the right finish.
Restoration & Finishing
Whether it’s French polishing, re-lacquering or removing heat and watermarks, every stage is carried out by hand with attention to detail. The result is a flawless finish that revives and protects your furniture for years to come.
Who We Work With
Over the years, we’ve restored furniture for families, antique collectors, hotels and even high-end design stores. A highlight of our work includes a full restoration project at The Norfolk Royale Hotel in Bournemouth, where we revived bedroom furniture throughout the property.
​
No matter the age, size or condition of your furniture, Acorn Polishing can restore it. From dining tables, chairs and wardrobes to bookcases and sideboards, every item is treated with the same level of care. We also work with specialist brands such as G Plan, Ercol, Mackintosh, Strongbow and Jentique.
We believe restoring furniture should be simple and stress-free. That’s why we offer free on-site quotations, collection and delivery. From the first consultation to the finishing touches, our goal is to exceed expectations — every time.
