Services

Our work is shaped by discretion and a love of nuance, and finished in conversation with our clients. Whether conserving a historic piece or bringing a custom design to life, we aim for work that is true to its time and built to last.

Restoration

Our practice is rooted in traditional hand finishes and a deep understanding of historic and modern construction. We return structural integrity, visual coherence, and functional longevity while honoring the original intent and material character of each piece.

  • Structural stabilization and repair

  • Period-appropriate surface treatments and finishes

  • Decorative carving and component replication

  • Hardware restoration and reproduction

Interventions are guided by restraint and long-term stewardship.

Conservation

Our conservation work follows museum and institutional standards. We collaborate with collectors, advisors, and curators to preserve original material, surface history, and evidentiary value.

  • Stabilization of fragile or compromised structures

  • Reversible repairs and material consolidation

  • Preservation of historic surfaces and patina

  • Preventive conservation planning and advisory services

The objective is preservation, not alteration — ensuring continuity across generations.

Reproduction

Our goal is not imitation, but faithful interpretation—producing pieces that honor the proportions, construction, and surface character of the originals while meeting contemporary structural standards.

  • Understanding of period construction, joinery, and materials

  • Hand-selected veneers, hardwoods, and historically appropriate finishes

  • Marquetry, carving, turning, and decorative elements replicated by hand

  • Accurate patination and surface toning for integration

Fabrication

We produce singular furniture and architectural works to exacting standards. Informed by historical techniques and contemporary design intelligence, our work is defined by precision, material sensitivity, and enduring construction.

  • Fully bespoke furniture and reproductions, period and contemporary

  • Unique architectural joinery and built elements

  • Design collaboration and unprecedented details

  • Hand-applied specialty finishes, traditional and experimental

Techniques

We specialize in hand-applied lacquer, French polish, oil and spirit varnishes, waxed and burnished surfaces, and complex sprayed finishes, as well as water-based and low-VOC systems where appropriate.

Techniques such as marquetry, parquetry, ebonizing, cerusing, surface toning, and patination are executed with precision and restraint, ensuring finishes that are both visually exacting and historically sound.
