Elmleigh Reproductions

Nigel did a remarkable job of restoring our round antique parlor table (photo on Nigel's website). The table was completely dismantled and rebuilt, and the quality of the finish on the surface of table top was outstanding. We've had quite a few restorations done over the years, and Nigel's work is as good as anything I've seen, either in Australia or overseas. I recommend Elmleigh Reproductions to anyone who wants that old-fashioned, traditional, quality craftsmanship that is increasingly difficult to find in this country. Jeff and Marian (Darwin)

My great great grandfather owned a mill at Pyrmont in Sydney in the 1860's and 1870's. He built this rocking chair during that time from cedar growing at Darling Harbour. It has been much loved and used by all the generations and was already very aged before it got damaged by removalist. I've had it for 25 years not knowing who I should trust to fix it. I found the perfect person in Nigel. What a magnificent job he did. The care and craftsmanship is top quality. It probably looks better now than it ever did. I can't thank you enough Nigel for your beautiful work and you can see the love you put into that chair. The result was beyond my expectations and I couldn't be happier. Many generations to come will now be able to enjoy relaxing in it also thanks to you ❤

Finding Elmleigh Reproductions was the best investment i have made in being able to have my chests (pic on Nigel's website) and sewing cabinet restored after being severely damaged in transit from Africa and Nigel is a wonderful communicator and very professional in his approach to helping in anyway possible. I would not hesitate to recommend his services and certainly appreciate his workmanship.

Very pleased with repairs to broken outdoor chair & desk drawer broken on move to Darwin. Timely quote & repairs. Nigel also rejuvenated an antique tray mobile for us. He did s fantastic job & has restored it to original condition. I highly recommend his work.

Nigel Santer refurbished my great grandmothers table which was almost falling apart. Communication and service was excellent and the finished product was amazing. I would recommend Elmleigh Reproductions to anyone...you wont find better in Darwin ... or anywhere in Australia. Thanks so much Nigel, we enjoy our dining table every day,!!

I feel very lucky to have found Nigel who has in a short period of time repaired 2 jarrah dining chairs and followed up by repairing and restoring a nest of inlaid tables from Sorrento, Italy. The end result is beautiful and I'm extremely happy. Thank you Nigel for your care and professionalism coupled with your talent and love of the work you do. I would recommend and use again
