Antique Furniture Carving and Gilding Restoration, Renovation and Repair

Antique oil and water gilding and Picture  Restoration and Conservation.

Gilded objects such as a antique mirror or picture frame, or antique furniture pieces are damaged relatively easily if they are knocked and gilding can discolour or wear away.

Oil and watercolours can become very dirty through nicotine deposits and general age,they may become torn or they may need to be re-streched there is also the possibility that areas of paint are missing.  We are capable of restoring your picture to its original standard of beauty and originality.

When the restoration of antique items are carried out, the repairs needs to be done in such a way that restoration is unnoticeable, and more importantly the period remains intact.

As part of Green & Cockburn's vast antique restoration expertise they are able to undertake to the finest degree oil and water gilding.

The process of gilding, particularly on antique gilded mirror and picture frames, involves many hours of intensive work in order to replicate various designs and seamlessly repair damaged pieces.

Our workshop is fully equipped for antique gilding and restoration using traditional methods and materials.

 Carving restoration and conservation

Many pieces of antique furniture and clocks include items of decorative carving and it is often these parts that suffer from wear and tear the most.

As Green & Cockburn undertake a great deal of furniture restoration, it is often necessary to perform carving on replacement timber that is crafted to give the piece it's original look and feel.

Relief and incised carving can be carried out to the highest standard, which will enable a true restoration for any item of antique furniture.
