We Restore
Of Antiques, Glass, Ceramics, Ivory, Leather, Furniture,
Plastic, Metal, Damaged Art, Documents & Photographs
Our goal when performing any restoration work consists of
two parts:
· to bring back the object to its original
condition, so the damages will no longer show, and, when necessary,
the object will be structurally reinforced.
· to have the restoration work reversible,
and not to damage the object in any way during the work.
Ceramics - We can repair and restore your treasured porcelain,
earthenware and ceramic antiques to their original beauty. Working
with traditional methods, glazes and materials your vases, figurines,
plates, bowls etc will look like the day they were made, not only
restoring their beauty but the value as well.
Furniture & Antiques - The beauty of fine wood furniture
is in the wood itself, often hidden under layers of dirt and grime,
or exposed to the ravages of time and the elements. Professional
restoration of fine furniture can restore the original beauty of
your old furniture at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new furniture.
Our artisans have been restoring antiques for over thirty years
and can fix most anything -- the older the furniture, the more the
challenge, and we can handle museum-quality repairs. We
have expertise in the stripping, repair, and refinishing of all
types of fine antique and heirloom wood furniture, to include the
application of old-world and modern finishes.
While many people can beat us in price, we guarantee that nobody
can do a better job then we can. Whether reinforcement or cosmetic
work is done, we do all we can to leave as much of the original
stains and finishes intact. After all, an 18th Century piece should
not look like new. But it should be as strong as it was when it
was originally manufactured. That is why we reinforce the objects
with inside pins, and try not to destroy original finish....and
we use custom hand carved details to replace those that are missing.
Photographs & Documents - Restoring old photographs is
one of our specialties. We can recover lost treasures that you may
have been forgotten and considered 'lost forever'. Our long-term
experience in photo and document restoration allows us to restore
items that have been damaged by physical accidents, poor storage
or deterioration that naturally happens with age. You will be very
pleased with the results...we guarantee it!
Artwork & Paintings - We use traditional materials and
techniques to clean, refresh, retouch and restore paintings and
photographs. Holes, scratches, and tears are repaired, as well as
general wearing-away of pigment. We never distorts the original
work either in form or color.. Everything is done the old-fashioned
way; nothing digitally. We place a big emphasis on preservation
of artworks and go out of our way to make sure that the problem
we are correcting will not reappear before its time. As an example,
when we eliminate a tear in a painting, we not only make the damage
invisible, but we also reline it to make sure that the tear does
not reappear in the future.
Porcelain, Glass, Ivory, Leather & Metal - No one can
do a better job at restoring porcelain, glass, ivory, leather and
metal then us. Our specialty is invisible restoration. This means
that if you have an item that was broken, after we are done working
on it, you will not be able to see the restoration work with a naked
eye. Our expertise covers works of various masters and different
periods and it does not matter to us if the piece was made during
Ming dynasty in China or in modern United States. What we do care
about is bringing back the damaged pieces to their original condition.
That is the principle our company was founded upon, and this is
the service we offer to our clients
