Antique Mirror Repair
A chance to pretend I'm on the Repair Shop.
Missing pieces.
Lovely old frame with lots of potential. All the flower were damaged or missing.
More pieces.
Three acanthus leaves completely missing. Moulds were made for these and the flowers.
Structure & paint.
Overall, shabby and tired. Lots of paint to touch in and the feet were secured to the frame, making it stable.
New flowers.
Moulds turned out good replacements, which were stuck on and painted.
New Leaves
Leaves were a bit more tricky, being 3 dimensional, but after paint, look good.
Just enough gold.
A thorough clean up helped overall, leaving a touch in of various shades of gold and polish. Not too much, just enough to still look untouched.

I will update the Gallery as I go along and work out how to take a better photo!

Collection to feature
With an envelope of dirty and damaged pictures, we decided on the colours of frame and mountboard. After cleaning and repairs, I created several layouts, cut the board, hung the pictures and finished with a non-reflective, UV resistant glass.
