Church Restorations
Some of our most challenging restoration work has been with ecclesiastical objects involving projects of all sizes and levels of complexity from religious statuary to mixed material constructions. As with our other projects, we analyze the material and cultural history of the object to determine how the piece was constructed. We then develop a sequence of steps to treat and restore the object.
