SILVER REPAIR SERVICES

Structural repairs for silver objects—stable joins, true forms, restrained finishing.
We address structure first. Handles, spouts, hinges, rims, feet, and seams are repaired so the piece is sound and square. Dents are eased and edges refined with restraint to preserve profile and detail. Finishing is tuned to the object—from satin to mirror-bright—without flattening pattern or thinning high points. Common projects include tea and coffee services, trays, candlesticks, frames, and trophies. Estimates begin with overall and detail photos plus measurements. Common projects include trays, tea and coffee services, candlesticks and candelabra, frames, trophies and presentation pieces, bowls and compotes, pitchers and ewers, chalices and patens, and flatware.

COMMON REPAIRS

Handles and spouts refit and silver-soldered where needed. Loose lids and finials stabilized. Hinges rebuilt, pins replaced, and alignment corrected. Rims and feet trued; seam and leak repairs made from the inside where possible. Dent work is local and controlled to preserve thickness and profile.

STRUCTURE BEFORE SURFACE

We do not chase brightness at the expense of stability. If a piece is out of square, has open seams, or carries a structural crack, those issues are resolved before any finishing. This order of work preserves proportion and prevents future stress.

FINISH TUNING

After repair, finishing is kept specific to the object. Ornament, repoussé, and beading remain crisp. Engraving and hallmarks stay legible. Sheen is set from satin to mirror-bright per the piece and preference.

LIMITS

Extremely thin metal, fatigued seams, or prior over-polishing can limit correction; we will advise alternatives when full restoration is not in the object’s interest.
