Bronze Repair and Restoration Services
Cleaning and Waxing
Cleaning: We meticulously clean your bronze pieces to remove dirt, grime, and old wax buildup. This process reveals the original beauty of the bronze and prepares it for preservation.
Waxing: After cleaning, we apply a high-quality wax to protect the bronze from environmental elements and to enhance its natural luster. This step is crucial for maintaining the bronze's appearance and preventing future corrosion.
Repairing Broken or Missing Pieces
Broken Pieces: We expertly repair any broken parts of your bronze sculpture or artifact. Our techniques ensure that the repairs are structurally sound and visually seamless, restoring the integrity of the piece.
Missing Pieces: For bronzes with missing parts, we can fabricate replacements that match the original design. Using traditional methods and materials, we recreate the missing elements to restore the piece to its full glory.
Re-patination
Patina Restoration: Over time, the patina on bronze can wear away or become uneven. We offer re-patination services to restore the original coloration and finish. This process involves carefully applying chemicals to achieve the desired patina, ensuring it matches the original as closely as possible.
Custom Patina: If you prefer a new look, we can apply a custom patina to your bronze piece. Whether you want a rich, aged appearance or a vibrant, modern finish, our artisans can achieve the perfect result.
