here is a good example of what reconstruction can do to a piece missing a fairly large part. The tip of one of those tops was missing. We used a platinum cure silicone to make a mold of the existing tip. Then using casting ceramic like material we created a copy of the original. Once [...]
This low fired ceramic piece presented extensive signs of erosion due to repeated washes and most likely exposure to fruits for decades. It made this ceramic repair even tougher since the glaze turned into a porous semi mat to ultra mat surface with lots of variations in the color. After fusing the pieces back together [...]
This old porcelain figure owned by a collector in New York had sever damages due to a fall. Despite what most people think the white glaze is the hardest to match. The reason is that is take a pin head worth of color to change dramatically the tone of white. You have to be patient [...]
This piece came to us in several pieces and was showing a heavy old repair done in a very poor manner. Plaster, paint and epoxy were used to mend and hide the damages. The problem is that epoxy turns deep yellow to brown overtime. Plaster soaks in moisture that weakens it and makes it come [...]

Our expertise in ceramic repair here at fine art restoration allows us to promise our clients the most incredible restorations.

This figurine came to us in pieces. Pretty common for this type of item since it was made decades ago and was usually put together with rice based glue. Over time the glue becomes very brittle and the parts snap right off. The challenge here was that the bamboo fishing stick and the fishes were [...]
This old Meissen ceramic had been poorly repaired a few decades ago using some kind of cheap epoxy glue that got dark brown over time. Stored in an attic for years, it was brought to Fine Art restoration for a full spotless restoration. This piece was originally a lamp. The owner wanted to simply enjoy [...]
This rather large piece was shipped from France and arrived with quite a few damages on the handles. It’s a good example of what poor wrapping does to valuables. The task here was to bond the handles back on in a way the piece could be picked up by the top ones. In the life [...]
The price of bronze castings can be quite high. That’s why the studio decided years ago to combine it’s expertise in molding/casting with a technique we developed to create ultra realistic bronze effect. The pieces can be poured in any medium like cement, plaster or resin. The bronze look is either embedded in the product [...]
This is a good example of what the studio is able to do for glass and crystal restoration no matter how desperate it may seem. For this project we started with making a mold of an existing part using a platinum cure silicone that has the ability to reproduce the finest details. Then we had [...]
