Handle Repair or Replacement:
Prices
range from $250. -$450. (Restoration of an original existing handle
can be more costly than total replacement.) |
|
Rings & Lug Replacement: Missing or broken iron rings or
their leather tabs (lugs) are a common condition problem. Custom wrought
iron rings can be created and the connecting lugs can be invisibly,
securely, and convincingly restored without damaging the integrity of
the original artifact. |
Holes & Breaks: Color, texture, and patina are carefully matched and blended into the surrounding areas. Note: Irregular color balance of "before & after" images due to varying lighting conditions. (Estimates made upon inspection.) |
|
Rims: The interior of a bucket's rim is usually made of steam bent wood. Often, these wooden hoops become bent or broken. In most cases, this can be restored but it is a major repair, depending upon the degree of damage. (Image is of a rare, interior iron rim firebucket. Estimates made upon inspection.) |
