French, 19th century<\/strong><\/p>\n

Private collection<\/em><\/p>\n

French 18th and 19th century decorative art objects are among the most finely crafted in the world. Each of these ormolu candelabra is built of twenty-two separate brass castings with ormolu surfaces and two finely detailed bronze figures patinated to a dark blue-green.<\/p>\n

The candelabra arrived with pieces broken and missing, and deep corrosion<\/a> marring the gold surfaces, exuding from the pores of the brass castings.<\/p>\n

In all our work, we strive to maintain a balance between correcting damage and retaining the work\u2019s original qualities. Consider the issues involved in the restoration of these ormolu candelabra:<\/p>\n
