Restoration

Our areas of expertise include the professional restoration of frames of each era and the gilding and setting of other art objects.

Using traditional craft techniques, the objects are carefully cleaned, flaws are repaired or re-carved, and then skilfully adjusted to the old surface. The object keeps its original character in this way.


The materials used are the same as those traditionally used in frame production: Wood, chalk, animal glues, red chalk and, of course, the best gold and silver leaf.
