Our journey begins with a comprehensive assessment. Each antique piece has unique requirements, and understanding these is crucial for effective cleaning and restoration. Our specialists examine every detail, from materials to past treatments, ensuring a tailored approach. This phase is critical in constructing a restoration plan that respects the piece’s history and integrity.
Once the assessment is complete, the cleaning process commences. We use eco-friendly, pH-balanced cleaning agents that are gentle on delicate featur while effectively removing years of grime and dust. For textiles and fragile surfaces, our team utilizes low-vibration ultrasonic cleaning technologies. This advanced method not only cleans but also preserves the intricate details that give your piece its personality.
Restoration, often the most intricate process, follows. Here, the goal is not just to repair but also to restore the original luster without erasing the uniqueness of its age. Our restoration artists dedicate themselves to matching colors, finishes, and materials accurately. If a wooden surface needs attention, we may employ traditional hand-finishing techniques, using organically sourced waxes to provide a protective, yet subtle sheen.
For antiques suffering more than just wear and tear, structural restoration techniques such as reinforcing joints or re-sculpting missing elements may be necessary. Our craftsmen have honed these skills to perfection, promising that repaired portions remain indistinguishable from the original.
Preserving antiques is not solely about physical restoration. EFG Cleaning and Restoration also provides educational guidance, empowering clients with knowledge on caring for their pieces.
