Brass Tacks, based in Crocketford, near Dumfries, south-west Scotland, specialise in quality upholstery
services although we also sell brass and garden ornaments, heirloom miniature chairs and other items for the home.
The business is owned and operated by Steven and Judith Grimshaw.
Steven entered the upholstery trade straight
from school and served a traditional five-year apprenticeship in Cheshire, a county rich with antiques and high class furniture.
He gained a wealth of experience and developed an absolute passion for traditionally crafted upholstered furniture.
In 1984, Steven and wife Judith moved north of the border to beautiful Dumfries and Galloway and, in 1985, founded Brass
Tacks Upholstery Services.
Since 1987, they have held membership of the Association of Master Upholsterers
and Soft Furnishers and are very proud to be connected to the industry's premier association.
In 1993, Brass
Tacks moved into their current premises in Crocketford where the retail of furniture, bronzes, lighting and decorative items
expanded to become a major part of the business.
Brass Tacks also retail upholstery supplies for the D.I.Y. and
professional market. This is coupled with private upholstery courses, offering the budding craftsperson the opportunity to
learn this, the most rewarding of forgotten crafts.
Steven and Judith between them have over 50 years' experience
in the trade and pride themselves in offering the best possible service to anyone appreciating traditional quality, combined
with total value for money.
Although specialists in high class traditional upholstery, they also undertake modern,
contract and bespoke quality work.
