Pair of George II giltwood torchères
Owner: The Rt.Hon. The Earl of Derby.
Many subsequent overgilds
buried the exquisite detail of the carving. Careful removal of these layers revealed the original surface.
Louis XV Lacquer Commode
Cleaning, surface consolidation and polishing restored this commode to its former glory.
George II giltwood stand
Several overgilds and age left the cabinet stand looking tired and old. Some de-layering, cleaning, consolidation and a little re-gilding gave the stand its glory back
Pair of early George III giltwood armchairs
Insect infestation and environment change had made these chairs deteriorate. Full surface consolidation and replacement, followed by new gilding promoted their recovery.
