Repairs & Restorations

“Let’s get rid of our throwaway society.”

-Donald Dawson

Do you have sentimental items that are bent, broken, tarnished or otherwise damaged?

We restore statues, lamps, wall sconces, candleholders, chests, chairs, stools, weathervanes, model airplanes, model ships, toys, dolls, portholes, tables, vintage relics, jewelry boxes, and even riding stirrups.

If your treasures matter to you, they matter to us.

Horse Weathervane Restoration

An 1880 horse weathervane was in for restoration and repair. Unlike most of my weathervane repairs, this horse would not be going back onto a roof. The owner wanted it mounted onto a base so he could showcase it on a mantlepiece.
