At Art-Leap, we believe that exceptional objects deserve to be preserved. An antique piece of furniture, painting or interior object carries traces of its history. It is precisely this age, craftsmanship and character that makes an object special. Restoration, to us, does not mean returning an object to a perfect new state, but carefully preserving and repairing what is already there.
Depending on the object, we work with specialised restorers and craftspeople. Their expertise ranges from furniture and wood restoration to French polishing, veneer, leather, fittings and other specialist work. A suitable specialist can also be engaged for paintings and frames. Each object is assessed according to its own material, age and condition.
Respect for the original character is always central. Signs of use and patina do not automatically have to disappear; they may form part of an object’s history and appearance. Where intervention is necessary, we aim for a careful and appropriate treatment in which preservation comes first.
