Szűcs Csaba, Écs

I am Csaba Szűcs and have been engaged in the restoration of period and antique furniture since 1989. I graduated from the Benedictine Grammar School of Pannonhalma then I was trained as an intarsia maker. Simultaneously I finished my studies at the school of wood technology. I made my thesis on the restoration of a Boulle cabinet from Vienna, from the age of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, on the basis of a work performed by me. Continuously improving my skills, in addition to intarsia making and furniture renovation I am engaged also in replica making, leaf gilding and restoration of grandfather, wall and desk clock cases as well as of pianos. I perform my works with traditional technologies, using natural materials. All special problems encountered in relation to furniture are fully solved by me. Missing bone, copper or intarsia inlays and carvings are made up. Locks and hardware are renovated or replaced. On the basis of my connections with co-trades upholstery and caning of seating furniture, repair of clock structures, renovation of musical instrument structures, polishing of mirrors and glasses, moulding of missing overlays are also possible. I have been continuously restoring the furniture of the Abbey of Pannonhalma since 1995.
