Compo Repair:

Revive the allure of your antique frames with my compo repair service. Delicate compo elements, prone to cracking and breakage, are thoughtfully reattached if available or meticulously recreated using precise molds from other parts of the frame. This detailed restoration ensures each frame retains its unique charm, showcasing the craftsmanship of yesteryears with a newfound resilience.

Miter Joint Repair:

Preserve the structural foundation of your frames with my miter joint repair. I assess and expertly reconstruct joints, reinforcing them for longevity. Through time-honored woodworking techniques, each repair is a meticulous process that not only restores but enhances the frame's structural integrity, providing lasting support.

Gilding Repair:

Step into a world of refined elegance with my gilding repair service. Worn, damaged, or faded gilded frames are meticulously restored through cleaning, gesso application, and the artful gilding of genuine gold leaf. Every repair is a testament to my commitment to precision and authenticity, ensuring each frame recaptures its radiant allure and becomes a timeless centerpiece in your collection.
