Hello Chris,
Just wanted to say thank you. The chairs and table are absolutely beautiful - can’t stop looking at them and touching them! Sorry I couldn’t see you in person - I have a deadline for my masters coming up and I needed to do a day in the library!
Also wanted to say I’ve shared your details on a closed FB group with 1.7k doctor mums who are interested in interior design and many are doing renovations. A few have already said they will make the trip based on the before & after pics, and I also connected with another client of yours who bought a large table and chairs!
Anyway- hope to do business again as we are really delighted. Thank you!
Best wishes,
Anna.

Hi Chris
I just wanted to say thanks so very much for our gorgeous table and chairs - we love them! The guys that delivered it were also amazing and really went above and beyond so would really like to say thanks to them as well! So refreshing to find a company who actually do what they say they're going to do!!
Thank you very much!!
Best wishes, Sarah
Wow! We absolutely love the table and chairs. Thank you so much. You and your team have done a fantastic job.
Thank you for delivering them today. The guys that delivered were lovely and did a brilliant job of installing it all too.

Good morning Chris,
Many thanks for the table we are both very pleased with the standard to which it has been restored, it looks great. My problem now is to keep the Grandchildren form it! Thank you for your help and making the process much less stressful than I thought it would be.
Wishing you and your Team a Merry Christmas.
Kind Regards
Janice..

I thought you would like this photo of the table which looks very handsome I think!

We are a London based Interior Decorating Company working on a range of both Residential and Commercial projects. Chris and the Team at Elizabeth James have been incredibly helpful since the moment we met them. Their prices are good and they have a large variety of stock. We have found their flexible approach and can do attitude particularly helpful as we often require bespoke finishes tailored to our Client's requests. Further to this they provide an excellent delivery service. All in all a very positive and professional experience!
We very much look forward to working with them again in the future.

Chris and his team at Elisabeth James are absolutely fantastic and I would have no qualms about recommending them to everyone. We found them online and visited their huge barn warehouse in January 2017 in search of a partner desk.
They had a large selection to choose from (so make sure you take your time looking around) and we picked a lovely Late Victorian mahogany 6ft x 4ft partners desk with a leather inset top over frieze drawers and graduated pedestals with drawers to one side and cupboards to reverse - standing on a plinth base and furnished with brass swan neck handles.
Chris was happy to restore and rejuvenate the mahogany and the leather inset on the desk to a colour of our choice, as well as update the layout of the desk to include distressed metal desk grommets (to give us access to the inevitable cables and wires required for modern use) and also install power extension leads (with USB points) inside the desk cupboards for us.
Chris stored the desk for us for a year and a half while we waited for our building work to finish - for no extra charge! He also gave us the option to refund the full price of the desk if we changed our mind over
those 18 months.
In the 3 weeks before delivery we had a last minute change of heart on the colour of the mahogany, and Chris was more than accommodating. We simply sent him a sample piece of oak in the post and he had his restoration experts re-work the colour of the desk for a second time - without a murmur.
The desk arrived last weekend (yes, Chris moved his schedule around to suit us and personally delivered it to us on a Saturday) and it is absolutely perfect. The restoration work is exquisite - the leather inset has been replaced, detailed and then aged to make sure it suits the period, and the modern updates (distressed grommets and power extensions) have been done extremely sensitively - they almost look original !
We love our new desk and the brilliantly detailed and sensitive restoration work - but most impressive was the superb and personal service offered by Chris and his team.

Chris has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Even when we had some heat marks appear on our table (our fault), he kindly offered to rectify free of charge - amazing customer service and would highly recommend.

Just had delivered a beautiful oak victorian dining table from Chris Millard at ElisabethJames Antiques. Can't recommend this place too highly. It's a treasure trove of tables and other gems. The owner is enthusiastic and a specialist. We were able to choose the table from several in a very large large selection. Chris then arranged for finishing, which has also been at a very high standard. Absolutely first rate.
Richard Cornall (Google Review)
What ever you are looking for you will almost certainly find it here or fall in love with somthing nicer. There is a huge range of interesting styles. We found a period oak extendable table and 16 regency chairs which is perfect for our dining room. Chris is knowledgeable and helpful to a fault. The items we chose were all re-worked exactly to our requirments and colour matches.They were renovated to an extremley high standard and look absolutly stunning. If you are looking for 'top end' at a reasonable price I can't recomend it highly enough.

Nigel and Marilia (Google reviews)
We are beyond delighted. Chris and his team sourced everything we were looking for and found us more than we hoped for, with options in each of the specific areas. The team then lovingly restored each of the pieces and delivered them to us earlier than expected. An exceptional experience from beginning to end.
Peter McMahon (Google Review)
We first "discovered" this amazing Aladdin's cave back in January when we were looking for a dining room table and chairs. The range of furniture available here is quite astounding. We were a little unsure of exactly what we wanted but after spending a couple of hours with Chris and drawing on his knowledge and boundless enthusiasm for all things relating to furniture things became much clearer so much so that over the following weeks we ended up ordering two sideboards, a chiffonier and an oval table to go with the dining room table and chairs!! Chris' help in matching the whole ensemble both in period and character was invaluable and in fact we could not have done it without him. Perhaps the biggest leap of faith was in acquiring a 200 year old dining room table with a rather novel pull out pop up leaf system - in it's raw state it looked almost beyond salvation but in it's restored state it is a truly beautiful piece of furniture rather fitting for Easter! The wonders that Chris and his team are able to perform through their sympathetic restoration process are amazing and they are a great bunch of people from the man himself right through to the delivery team. In our opinion this is the only antique furniture restorer to go to.
Andy Windmill (Google Review)
A real gem of an antiques place with so much to choose from. Chris took plenty of time to discuss what we wanted, and the finished table and chairs are stunning. Thank you
Katie Vaughan (Google Review)
Superb! Fantastic service all round and excellent product. As described and within time scales. Cannot fault.
Suzanne Milne (Google Review)
We have purchased a number of items from Chris and each looks stunning in our home. The finish to the wood items (extending dining table and library bookcase) and upholstery to dining chairs and occasional chair have been fantastic. The service has been warm and courteous, both in the showroom and on delivery to home.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris and his team and we're looking forward to our next project.
Helen McKay (Google Review)
We are very lucky to have Chris and Elisabeth James Antiques relatively close to us. I was struggling to find a table that would suit our barn conversion. We narrowly avoided buying a deceptively described plywood reproduction "Jupe" table that are widely touted on the internet at the moment for 5K+. We contacted Chris and popped over for some inspiration. You won't find many more comprehensive selections of tables anywhere in the country. Whilst looking in one of the buildings for one of his refectory tables I spotted the quadrant of an oak circular table 8' in diameter. The lads soon had it pieced together in the yard for us to admire. The price that Chris charged was very fair, it was fully restored and polished,delivered and rebuilt in our chosen spot. Chris gave us a brief provenance which I have since researched further. It has an impeccable and documented provenance. It has since been examined by a prominent authority on antiques of that period. Even though we paid slightly in excess of a shiny reproduction Jupe table they certainly wouldn't have shown a 30% increase in value that ours has! Thanks Chris for a lovely table at a very fair price, backed up by a great service.
James Singlehurst (Google Review)
Our table has been much admired by many and is used 3 times a day every day. It is the hub of the house. The icing on the cake is that an arts and crafts expert has recently put a value of 10K on it (we’ll never sell it).
James
I wanted to say how delighted we were with all the pieces from you. They are just stunning!!! You and your team are a so very clever.
Thank you again.
Angelica and David
I think it looks amazing. Proportionally fits the room just right. Commode
is stunning.
We were inspired by what definitely must be the most extraordinarily huge collection of dining room tables and chairs - truly inspiring. Our selected table was renovated to our exact specifications, delivered and installed efficiently and with care. We are delighted with the results. Exceptional service. I would highly recommend this company.

What an amazing experience from start to finish. I recently moved house from London to Northamptonshire and found Elisabeth James by accident when googling for a dining table. Chris is a real pleasure to deal with, there were no hard sell tactics but he listened to my requirements and more importantly my wish list and then showed me exactly what I wanted. The warehouse is in the middle of nowhere but worth a visit and is choc full of unrestored furniture, tables and chairs etc and a selection were put out in the yard for me to view, I was assured that the delivered pieces would be perfect and honestly they were. I purchased a Georgian dining table , two regency carvers, a Georgian sideboard, a Sheraton sofa and four 17thc oak chairs, all the furniture was just beautifully restored to perfection and the sofa was reupholstered with fabric I supplied and again was stunning! All in all we are more than happy and will definitely buy from Chris again and again.
These are a real trustworthy firm and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.
Jonathan Lloyd-Ham Google Review
We purchased a dining table, 14 chairs, a cabinet, a secretaries, a side board and 2 small tables, and all came to our house beautifully restored and polished. Chris at Elisabeth James Antiques was so helpful in helping us to find the right furniture in his huge barn filled with antiques. Where else would you find such a selection of dining tables and so many matching chairs? We could then discuss the restoration and the result is beautiful! I highly recommend this antique dealer and we look forward to our next visit!
KDM Google Review
We recently purchased an elegant mahogany dining table and a set of Regency dining chairs, alongside a Regency sideboard from Elisabeth James Antiques. We’re absolutely delighted with our purchases and found the whole process an informative and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
As soon as we walked into the warehouse in Northamptonshire we were extremely impressed with the vast array of antique furniture which encompassed a huge range of antique periods and styles. We were guided by Chris the owner who provided a friendly and first rate service throughout. Having explained our requirements to him he spent a great deal of time with us showing us a variety of options, to suit a range of budgets. Nothing was too much trouble and we never felt under any pressure to buy. His knowledge of antique furniture is second to none and his expertise is matched by his enthusiasm for the subject! Furthermore, he is very straightforward to deal with and his honest and trustworthy approach to business is very refreshing.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Chris. We are delighted with our purchase (a beautiful Sheraton era dining table) and Chris' warm and professional service. Chris and his team have done a fantastic job with the restoration, retaining patina but bringing the table back to life and, when we had an accident with our builders shortly after we installed the table in our home, he sorted a repair out with a smile and sympathy, very generously completing the repair and transportation without charging us. It was completely in keeping with our experience with Chris as a whole which has been absolutely first rate.
J. Wandrin Google Review
My wife and I recently travelled from Ireland to Elizabeth James Antiques in England. There early one Saturday morning, we were welcomed by Chris and his friendly and very polite staff. We were given a mug of tea and afforded free reign to wander about and explore his impressive antiques stores and show room - there was no pressure placed on us to buy anything.
In the end, we were so very impressed we made the decision to purchase an antique oval Irish wake dining room table; which is stunning and an absolutely 'stand-out' example of its type.
Chris was very reasonable with us at all times. Importantly, he offered us a fair deal that everybody was happy with, he personally organised for our table to be couriered to Ireland for us [our table only took two days to be delivered] and he was at all times patient and attentive to the many e-mail exchanges which took place. In short, he offered us an absolutely 'excellent' service and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Elizabeth James Antiques to any other Irish customer that's thinking of making a purchase.

Excellent service and an amazing range of furniture.

Elisabeth James Antiques provided us with outstanding service during our search for an antique dining table. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris and he delivered 3 different tables to our apartment (3rd floor/no stairs) over a period of just 2 weeks until we decided on our preferred piece. We are absolutely delighted with our choice and recommend them highly.

We recently purchased an oak dining table with eight mahogany chairs from Elisabeth James Antiques and are absolutely delighted with the furniture. The owner, Chris, spent a couple of hours with us at the start of the process making sure that we were completely happy with every aspect. His knowledge and customer care was brilliant and gave us huge confidence that the restoration of the table and chairs was in very good hands. We are now the proud owners of beautiful antique dining furniture that makes me smile every time I look at it!
Chris is properly "old school" and he was a pleasure to do business with - we thoroughly recommend him, his business and his fantastic furniture.

If you are looking for quality furniture and excellent service, then you couldn't do better than go to Elisabeth James Antiques. Chris and his team of craftsmen have done a beautiful job of renovating our recent purchase, a 9ft Arts and Crafts dining table. The price, quality and service have been great. We will no doubt go to Chris again next time we are looking for furniture and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris to family and friends.

I found EJ Antiques randomly by searching for a specific type of dining table I wanted. They were very obliging, would finish the wood how I wanted it, and drove it to Edinburgh from England so I could try it in my home. The table was beautiful, and I chose to buy it. Amazing service - no delivery charge, and if you don't like it, they'll take it back. Really pleased with the result.

We bought a beautiful William Table and matched set of 14 chairs Elisabeth James Antiques. The choice is excellent - they have more quality furniture coming through than any other dealers I have found. The price is also excellent compared with the retailers in the West of London through which you'd pay several times what I paid here.

A superb range of good quality tables and chairs to choose from- we were spoilt for choice. Chris was extremely helpful, and very flexible in meeting us at the 'showroom' on a wet Bank Holiday Monday. Also very flexible in arranging delivery once the table and chairs had been restored.
The restoration has been done to a very high standard, both the woodwork and the upholstering.
We have already recommended to friends and wouldn’t hesitate in doing so again.
Overall a great experience - thanks very much

We bought an oak pedestal desk recently. We are very happy with the desk and whole experience, especially the level of attention to detail. Chris brought a test sample of leather to our house for us to check the colour and borrowed an oak shelf so that the colour of the desk should fit. It did, perfectly. The desk is exactly what we wanted and we would recommend Elisabeth James Antiques to anyone.
Chris Tyler- Smith Google Review
Elisabeth James Antiques offers a rather different shopping experience. Chris has an extensive range of interesting furniture (see his website for examples) but they are not displayed in showroom format or condition. This gives you the opportunity to browse a large range of pieces and to see them in whatever condition they are currently. If you select a piece and agree a price, then Chris and his team will restore the piece to a high standard (and deliver to you) to your own requirements - offering you more choice in what you can actually acquire. For example, the upholstery for your chairs, the leather colour and finish on your desk, your bookcase lighter or darker, amending pieces to fit your needs, etc. I have found this to be a good way of getting some suitable antique pieces for my house - nine pieces, so far ! This method may not suit everyone but personally I have found it to be very flexible and would recommend that you give it a try.
Brendan Wells Google Review
We would happily recommend Chris and his team. He completely repaid our trust in his ability to deliver exactly what we wanted. We now have a Victorian walnut dining table, but one that has been refinished by the Elisabeth James team to exactly the tone and lustre that we wanted, which works brilliantly in a contemporary environment .It was though a leap of faith. Elisabeth James work premises is a large shed in a farming community near Milton Keynes, so no glossy signs or ritzy salespeople. But equally, no hard sell or pressure. We found a really friendly team, with a large varied stock of unrestored tables (and chairs), and all the time we wanted to talk through a wide variety of options. Much better than trawling the internet. After some time with Chris, and a bit of quiet thinking time of our own over coffee, we chose an unrestored walnut table but which we wanted stripped back to a particular colour tone, and lustre. This was some way away from how the table looked when we chose it, but Chris understood what we wanted to achieve and was completely clear that the team could strip the table back and then create exactly what we had specified.And they did – it was delivered five weeks later, and was exactly as ordered. If it hadn’t been right they would have taken it back and refinished it. Happily that wasn’t necessary, but it was a real reassurance to us in making the original decision to go ahead with Elisabeth James. Looking back, it was a leap of faith but one that was entirely justified. We would highly recommend.
Stephen Collier Google Review
We have bought quite a lot of furniture from EJ over the last few years, including three large glass fronted bookcases, a Desk and chair, a Wellington chest, a mahogany card table, a Georgian Mahogany chest and most recently a set of 8 Hepplewhite design dining chairs.I can not speak highly enough of the exceptional customer service Chris has given us, he has taken great care to find things that have worked well in our house. To give you an example of great customer service, when our office furniture was delivered last year we showed Chris our dining table which had been scratched by our dogs. Chris offered to repair the table, even though we had bought it from a French dealer many years ago. Not only did he repair the scratches but also repaired the leaves which were damaged and one of the legs. Chris did not charge us for this work, as we had been good customers of EJ and it was because of this sort of personal service that we will return for all our furniture needs.
David Allsop Google Review
We were rather concerned at buying our table, chairs and serving table online from abroad and at transferring the money rather than using a credit card. The furniture is fantastic and exceeded our expectations as has the service we have received from you throughout.
Pauline Crogan Google Review
We were able to see the large extendable Georgian dining table we bought in an unrestored condition. The restoration work done by Elisabeth James there in their own workshop was of the highest order with the French Polish finish to the table leaves having that full and rich gloss you so rarely see in restored work these days. The table functions fully as it was intended and the wood has proved to be very stable in a centrally heated room. When the table was damaged EJ repaired it simply and skillfully. Never let your insurer talk you into using their "expert" as we learned to our cost. In the end EJ had to undo a bad repair and then repair it properly. It would have been so much cheaper had they done it properly in the first place. EJ collected and delivered. Knowing you can go back to them for a proper repair at a very reasonable price is great.

We were looking for a Victorian windout table and came across Elisabeth James Antiques. From first point of contact the owner, Chris, was polite, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Chris went out of his way, was patient and his customer service was and is exemplary. We chose a stunning Walnut 10 foot table which he restored to our exact specification. It was delivered exactly when we wanted it to be and time was taken by him to explain to us how to care for the table. Our friends and family have complimented its beauty and enjoyed many a dinner party at it. We have no hesitation in recommending Chris and his company and have done so to our fussy North London circle. Professor John and Mrs Polly Pasi

We were recommended Elisabeth James Antiques by a friend as we've been searching for a Georgian Dining Room Table and Chairs for many months. After a trip to see Chris we found exactly what we wanted from his extensive range. Last weekend we took delivery of our table and chairs which were sympathetically restored by his team of craftsmen and we are extremely happy with the quality of the job and also with the fantastic service we received. Chris kept us constantly updated either by email or a phone call of the progress of our order and delivered at the most convenient time for us. We would highly recommend Elisabeth James Antiques and already have been in contact with Chris to source us a sideboard to compliment our Table and Chairs.

We recently purchased a dining table from Chris at Elisabeth James Antiques and we are absolutely delighted with it.
We found this company on the internet and popped in to have a look at what stock they had. We were amazed at the quantity and diversity of stock and Chris’s knowledge of what he had in what appeared to be just a warehouse full of old furniture.
Do not be put off by any preconceptions you may have – Chris had wonderful knowledge and experience and will guide you to the right piece for you. We also had a set of 10 chairs that needed upholstering . Chris assured us that his men were very experienced in upholstery and we should not have worried. We handed over 10 badly neglected oak dining chairs and took back 10 beautifully restored chairs. The dining table we chose was incredibly old and needed quite abit of work to bring it back to life and again Chris advised that his team would be able to do just this. Again what he promised he delivered. The table was French polished and restored to a beautiful condition.
This company does not have a flashiest of show roomsor a shop front but they have an amazing selection of furniture and clearly a great team of craftsmen that provide you with exactly what you invisage.
If you are looking for something antique, then this is the place for you. Its really worth a look !

What an enjoyable experience and what a final result.
You were a delight to deal with and we both feel we know so much more about antique tables. Thanks for the education.
Having chosen our table, there was trepidation over how it would eventually look, but we needn't have worried. It was exactly what we hoped for; actually, it was better!,
We will be back with another project.

Dear Chris,
Thank you so much for the fantastic table and chairs. As you can see from
the photo, we decided to try the larger leaf in the centre after you left
and found the table fits absolutely perfectly and with all 8 chairs around -
this is how we plan to keep it on a day to day basis.
We are truly delighted and will continue to spread the word - will also add
a review to your site.
Many thanks once again, we are sure we will be up to peruse your stocks in
the near future.

I've attached some snaps of your beautiful table. There is still another leaf to go in and I will take more when I do that.
I am really enjoying using the table – thanks, really really pleased with it.

Dear Chris
Please see attached a photograph of the beautiful table and chairs in situ. I’m not sure it really does them justice! We are really delighted with the result and think we will swathe one in plastic for Jacob (our five year old) to use!
Kind regards
Ella

Dear Chris
Thank you so so much, we are so thrilled with all the pieces, they look beautiful.
I have sent the £ 3000 so you should find it in your bank account shortly.
I have lost my tape measure, but as soon as it turns up I will send through those dimensions for the chest and second bedside table.
Regards,
Kim

Hi Chris
Thank you so much for our lovely table and chairs — we're thrilled with them.
When you have a minute could I ask you t just email me the care instructions you talked to me about yesterday - I'll never remember them.
I've transferred £5000 into your account this morning and it should be there within the next 2 hours.
Many thanks, once again.

Dear Chris
We were rather concerned at buying our table, chairs and serving table online from abroad and at transferring the money rather than using a credit card. The furniture is fantastic and exceeded our expectations as has the service we have received from you throughout.
Thank you so much,

Chris, I just wanted to say THANK YOU. You and your team have done better than a great job - rather the transformation is truly fantastic - wow!!!! The table and chairs looked like they had been in a barn with animals when we bought them - now they look as if they have come from a palace!! - an amazing restoration. If anyone asks for a reference - please feel free to give them our number. Kind regards Heather & Hugh Holland and London
You and your team provided us with an absolutely beautiful small Victorian oak extender table, with bobbin turned legs, which you had stripped and then matched to the colour of our chairs. I was away when you delivered it and I cannot tell you how thrilled I was when I returned to find it in pride of place in our dining room. You have done such a great job on it and it is absolutely perfect. It is certainly something we will treasure for a long, long time. So a huge thank you.

Dear Chris
Thank you so much for delivering the tables and chairs. They are stunning and beautifully restored.

Chris, thank you so much for coming today, sorry you got lost and I'm really sorry it was under so much pressure. I'd love for you to come in for tea when you're next in town.
The table has been christened with my first con and the clients were highly impressed. One of them panicked slightly as he made some good scratch marks with a wicker milk matt - they have rubbed off with a soft cloth as you suggested.
I am looking for a larger desk now as this one looks a little ridiculous next to its new neighbour! If you come across anything you think may be suitable please let me know.
Thank you again and hope to see you soon.
Best wishes,
Rebecca

Please keep a look out for a mirror

Dear Chris,

We have transferred the remainder of the money into your account.
With best wishes,

Chris,

Thank you so much,
