I would not hesitate a nanosecond to recommend Lakeside Pottery for any art restoration. I am glad I took my time looking for the right artists to take on my project. Restoring art certainly is an investment that deserves a great deal of consideration.
He told me his Dad would be so happy to see the restored Napoleon and that made me feel great that he was so pleased. My Dad only saw the bust in the damaged condition and he was gob smacked when he watched it being unpacked. I got the bust from my father, who got it from his father.
The color of the patina was a perfect match and you even touched up sections that I didn’t think you would work on. I could not see any seams or unevenness where you filled the removed copper. In addition, you sent me 20 images of the step-by-step process to get my Napoleon showroom new.Īs pleased as I was with the photos, they could not compare to what I saw after unpacking the returned bust. If you didn’t know where the original damage was you could not tell by looking at the photographs. I was on pins and needles wondering if the repair would be noticeable because the majority of the corrosion was on the left side of the face - then the pictures arrived and it was a WOW moment! The photographs were mind blowing. You contacted me half-way through the process and updated me on the actual amount of damage and how you were approaching the repair. From shipping recommendations up to the work itself there were no surprises. The process was exactly as you said it would be. I sent the pictures you requested of the statue and then spoke to you on the phone, I knew that my search was over. After hundreds of hours researching the restoration of antique art I found Lakeside Pottery. The 200 year old bust was in dire need of restoration where the copper corroded through and finding someone who I trusted to do the repair was a daunting task. I want to thank and congratulate you on the incredible job you did restoring my copper Napoleon bust.
