Our Story

Established in 1973, Kauri House Antique Restoration started in a small Ponsonby cottage and has grown into a trusted name in fine furniture restoration. Over the years, we have worked with leading antique dealers, collectors, and institutions, including the Auckland Museum and Michael Boulgaris.
But we are more than just antique restorers. Whether it’s a valuable antique, a sentimental family treasure, or a modern piece that needs refreshing, we bring expertise and care to every project.
Our craftsmanship is about more than just furniture—it’s about preserving stories, memories, and history.
