Conservation

|
Conservation Only by knowing how something is put together and of what it is made, can any
hope of success be achieved. This aspect of our work is very important as we
only ever use contemporary materials and, where possible, the original. For
example, if a fox head falls from a wall and the clay that fills its nose is
shattered and exits through a split in the skin, we grind down the clay, re-wet
it and replace it back in the nose, thereby completely retaining the integrity
of the piece, which has got to be better than using new clay. We hold a large stock of antiquarian parts (eyes, wire, feathers, fur, etc.), so
that even for specimens where parts are lost, we can conserve them using
replacements as near contemporary as possible.
We also offer a re-colouring service, whereby the badly faded specimen can be
made to look as much as possible how it once did. This, like all our procedures,
is completely reversible. I hope the above words will illustrate to you the quality of our work and convince you that you have found the only conservator you will ever need.
