Porcelain & Fine China Restoration
Fine ceramics like porcelain and bona china are always at high risk of breakage from accidental knocks and falls. Although smashed ornaments may seem alarming, rest assured that our conservator is able to achieve remarkable results – whether you’re facing a small chip or hundreds of fragments.Â
Our team has assisted in the assessment and full restoration of many ceramic items, from high value porcelain vases to figurines with sentimental value. As well as unique pieces, we have restored many popular collectables in this medium.
What can we restore?
We have revived porcelain and fine china from a wide variety of manufacturers, including but not limited to:
- Meissen
- Chinese Porcelain
- Lladro
- Wedgwood
- Bow Porcelain
- Chelsea Porcelain
- Royal Crown Derby
- Royal Worcester
- Kakiemon
- Royal Copenhagen
- Sèvres Porcelain
- Royal Doulton
Our conservation approach to porcelain repair ensures that the finish is safe for ongoing preservation and is as seamless as possible for a visually clear result.
Saving broken porcelain
When fine ceramics are broken into fragments, it is extremely important that all pieces – no matter how small – are gathered. This allows our conservator to reconstruct the shape using as much of the original as possible, therefore retaining the objects artistic and historic integrity.
Missing pieces
When a fragment is not available to be reapplied, the area can be recreated with expert precision. We can recreate the shape, colour and finish or patina to blend in perfectly.
Sometimes a missing piece may be a loose item on a figurine or a detailed area such as a hand or flower petal. Even the most unusual areas can be recreated using our historic knowledge and research to provide an accurate replacement.
Reversing old repairs
We can remove yellow staining from acidic glues and inappropriate household adhesives that have resulted from a previous amateur repair.
Our conservator can also remove staples, brittle adhesives, failed attempts at kintsugi, tape marks and other stains from past restoration campaigns.
We will replace these with a modern conservation-grade repair method that will not discolour or degrade in the same way.
Whilst most of our work is a clear conservation style repair, you may also want to consider professional kintsugi for a unique gold finish.
