Restoring Memories, Crafting Futures
Premium furniture repair & custom refurbishing in Cork and beyond.
Craftsmanship Rooted in Cork
For over two decades, Emerald Furniture Repair Ltd has blended the time-honoured techniques of Irish cabinetmaking with cutting-edge tools. Our master craftspeople, certified by City & Guilds and the British Antique Furniture Restorers’ Association, treat every commission—be it a Victorian sideboard or a Scandinavian chair—with obsessive attention to detail. We document every stage, provide transparent quotations, and finish each piece with eco-friendly products that preserve both timber and the planet.
Our workshop on Patrick Street hums with life: chisels glide, low-VOC lacquers cure in temperature-controlled booths, and CNC routers carve components with millimetre precision. What drives us isn’t just the end result—it’s the stories we help preserve for the next generation.
