Hand Engraved Sterling Silver FrameThis beautiful Baroque revival sterling frame was chosen by a customer to be engraved with her initials. The center medallion was damaged and too thin to be engraved. We soldered a new thicker piece of sterling silver in its place to make it possible to engrave.
Here at Chelsea we do both simple and full porcelain and ceramic restoration. This vase is actually a lamp that broke and is in the process of being fully restored- once finished, you won't be able to tell it ever broke. The next step will be to fill in the cracking, and then hand paint the fills with color matched paints. There are a lot of steps left to get this piece looking like new, but it's looking a lot better than it was.

FORTIFYING ANTIQUES AGAINST TIMEUnderstanding the importance of authenticity in restoration, we sourced period-correct screws to replace the damaged or missing originals. This attention to detail ensured that the restored sconce would maintain its historical accuracy and aesthetic value. Once the structural integrity was restored, we polished the sconce to bring out the inherent beauty of the bronze. We opted for a satin finish, which is historically appropriate and highlights the intricate details of the sconce’s design. To ensure that the sconce could continue to withstand the harsh coastal environment, we applied a triple layer of high-quality lacquer. This protective coating is designed to guard against humidity, salt air, and other corrosive elements, extending the life of the sconce for many more years. CONTINUING THE TRADITION OF EXCELLENCEAt Chelsea Plating Company, we believe that every antique has a story worth telling. Our commitment to preserving these stories through expert restoration techniques ensures that even the most delicate and damaged antiques can be enjoyed for years to come.
