Using conservation and restoration techniques, we repair broken parts, veneers, damaged finishes, marbletops and missing metalwork (ormalu) in a manner that allows you to retain the value of your piece. To that end:
- Reparation of broken, missing or irreplaceable parts is performed whenever possible with original parts, barriers and reversible adhesives unless that is not feasible for the life of the item.
- Holes are conserved, degraded glues are removed, and new era-appropriate and/or reversible glues are used, such as hide glues.
- If necessary, we replicate missing or failed parts from vintage or reclaimed wood; we never use woods from non-renewable sources.
- Hardware is found from salvaged parts or created using traditional techniques.
- Finishes are repaired using traditional matching finishes or in accordance with modern museum guidelines. (See information on Traditional Finishes or Painted Finishes + Lacquered Objects.)
- Client’s are consulted when necessary if replacement is our only option.
