Furthermore, we can restore tapestry and upholstery.

To us, restorating ancient furnishings means respect for its originality.

The kind of restoration we follow, as for antique frames or any kind of furniture, is mostly conservative: so it's very important to identify the era of the object through an in-depth evaluation, to determinate the plan for the recovery.

Every special thing needs its special treatment, all in good time.

Timing and costs vary greatly, based on the conditions of the antique to treat. Would you like an estimate?

Bits of history

Restoration has never been a universal art!

Its rules have changed throughout the centuries in different ways around the world. Which is the determining factor? Religion.

Are you a gothic style lover?

Well, you have to know Eugene Viollet-le-Duc, french architect: lived in XIX century, he made history for giving priority to the original style aspect of the artworks to restore…and was also accused to put gothic style in works of other ages.
(Read his life on Wikipedia!)

On the other hand, if you are more conservative, you definitely would have liked John Ruskin…

English intellectual, he claimed that artworks must be preserved the way history and time gave them to us. Actually, he believed that restoration was like a useless practice, or even a deception, compromising the authenticity. Today, a hundred years after his departure and with several new techniques, he probably wouldn't be so adamant!
