R.A.R.E - Recycle, Auction, Refinish, End product

The idea of reusing and repainting old furniture has been around for as long as furniture itself has existed, but RARE goes one step further. Compton and Schuster carefully select a hand-crafted piece of furniture which they then revive and create a more tactile and unique finish.

Each piece, whether sourced at auction or found in the client’s own home, is treated individually and Compton and Schuster liaise with the client, deciding whether it needs adapting for modern day use and which finish will most enhance the beauty of the piece.

Not only is recycling these pieces environmentally friendly, but the value of the item is retained and in most cases increased.
