Art & Antique Restoration

This unique porcelain plate was seriously damaged and required not only careful assembly, to not damage the exquisite image, but hours of work to ensure that restoration is invisible.

Plate is dated most likely more than 100 years, created by Royal Vienna which contains multiple elements of a very delicate illustration of women dancing to the music of an angel.

Restoration performed required approximately 80 hours of attaching all pieces together, several layers of various spay mixes, several layers of foundational paint and final details.

Difficult restoration process but at the end, beautiful porcelain plate came back to life with no visible blemishes, fully restored.

This large Chinese Porcelain Bowl was a beautiful piece which required many hours to reproduce the image inside the bowl and make it seamless.

Extremely difficult restoration due to the fact that vase broke into several dozen pieces resulting in more than 6 months restoration process.

This piece is most likely between 100 and 300 years old.

From Wikipedia:

Satsuma ware (薩摩焼 Satsuma-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery originally from Satsuma Province, southern Kyūshū. Today, it can be divided into two distinct categories: the original plain dark clay early Satsuma (古薩摩 Ko-Satsuma) made in Satsuma from around 1600, and the elaborately decorated export Satsuma (京薩摩 Kyō-Satsuma) ivory-bodied pieces which began to be produced in the nineteenth century in various Japanese cities. By adapting their gilded polychromatic enamel overglaze designs to appeal to the tastes of western consumers, manufacturers of the latter made Satsuma ware one of the most recognized and profitable export products of the Meiji period.

Few hundred years old most likely, French Salon Table is a unique piece of art, with elaborate enamel plaquettes depicting French high society dated back to Napoleon

Most likely late 18th or early 19th century Venetian micro mosaic frame decorated with flowers and the Lion of Venice

Beautiful piece with restoration needed in multiple parts of the frame, repairing damaged crystal silhouette as well as missing parts. Fairly extensive restoration process which took several weeks, but at the end, after extensive cleaning, looked stunning.
