Colima Dog Process 1
Colima Dog
Was broken in several different pieces. First we glued the pieces back together with a strong glue and filled in all gaps with wood filling material for a smooth untraceable transition to paint. Painting was done to perfectly blend the piece together for an untouched look for any gallery, auction house, or museum.

Mayan Carved Cylinder Process

Mayan Cylinder
This Mayan carved cylinder was missing a large piece of the top rim so we had to rebuild the missing piece from scratch with material and make sure that there was a smooth unnoticeable transition before re-carving the missing figures and painting.


Colima Redware Sitting Figure Process

Colima Redware Figure
This figure was separated in many pieces when we received it. Legs, arms, body, and head were glued back in perfect alignment for minimal restoration work. Gaps were filled in, sanded, and designs were re-carved in order to unify the piece before final painting and blending.

Attic Black Figure Plate Process 3

Attic Black
Figure Plate
A Large Piece of this plate was missing, so we had to reproduce a smooth surface before painting. Intricate Camel riders on the outside of the plate had to be redrawn to match the originals. After tracing, detailed painting was done in order to create a Museum-Quality unified piece.
