Conservation and restoration of antique mirrors, picture frames and gilded objects.

Alongside our silvering workshop, the conservation and restoration of antique mirrors and frames is one of our core specialities.

Traditional methods, respect for age

Our approach

Traditional methods, respect for age

We use traditional methods to conserve and restore mirror and picture frames, as well as other gilded and lacquered objects. Each piece is brought back to life while keeping its age and character.

  • Gilt, polychrome, oriental lacquer and japanned surfaces
  • Structural repairs and consolidation
  • Careful refinishing of gilt and decorative surfaces
  • Resilvering and replacement antique mirror glass
