About Me
Trained initially at Rycotewood College, Oxford I undertook a traditional apprenticeship organised by the Rural Industries Bureau, a government body. I then worked in London at Mallets at Borden House as a conservator. I then studded elements of Clock restoration and metal work conservation. I joined the family firm of Edmund Czajkowski & Son Ltd, in 1970 where I am now the sole partner. In the firm we conserve Furniture Clocks and Barometers. I have experience with working on a verity of English and European furniture and also far Eastern and Middle Eastern furniture. Conservation work on clocks and barometers is mainly on British and European items.
