my expertise
My specialty is the restoration and conservation of furniture, seats, and woodwork. I work on high-end furniture from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, including veneered, marquetry, and solid wood pieces.
With a diverse clientele, I restore antique furniture of all types and from all regions.
I possess expertise in restoration techniques that enables me to work with precious materials and woods, such as tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, ivory, brass, tin, and various wood species. Among my specialties are clock furniture and boxes, as well as Boulle marquetry.
My skills also include:
– Finishing with French polish, filled wax, Martin varnish, and varnishes based on 18th-century techniques and recipes.
– Utilizing both traditional and modern techniques for enhanced conservation and reversibility.
– Restoring and recreating wood paneling, wainscoting, and libraries.
– Custom traditional craftsmanship.
I will also accompany you by providing advice on the maintenance and conservation of the furniture after restoration. I will take into account your criteria and needs to successfully carry out a restoration or recreation.
