Objects with artistic merit and value
Objects with artistic merit and value
Over the years we have been asked if it is at all possible to restore items that fall into a category we call objet d’art.
We have successfully restored many items from horn snuff boxes to fragile Indian paper elephants.
Some bronze statues that have been damaged and Napoleonic prisoner of war artefacts.
We have also converted period wall sconces into light fittings without damaging them and being able to return them back into wall sconces.
A clarinet from Acker Bilks collection was converted into a floor lamp with a Tiffany glass style lamp shade for a private client.
There are many treen items, boxes and even coffins that have passed through the workshop all requiring restoration of some kind or another.
Restoration to a very fragile Indian paper elephant where the top section had been damaged.
The restoration to a Scottish spinning wheel.
Acker Bilks clarinet converted into a lamp with a Tiffany style shade. All of which had to be reversible and the clarinet un-damaged.
