B.R. Howard’s team of conservators have worked on sculptures and monuments made of bronze, metals, stone, wood, glass, and various composite materials. Our team has completed a variety of sculpture conservation projects that range from routine sculpture cleaning and maintenance to repairs and fabrication of replacement parts. Common sculpture repairs have included the treatment of corrosion, cracks, flaking paint, bronze sculpture patination, and hot wax treatments. We’ve had the honor to work on a variety of projects including sculpture restoration for the U.S. Senate, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, and Texas State Preservation Board.
Sculpture Restoration Examples
bronze sculpture restoration
This outdoor bronze sculpture had suffered weather damage that caused the original dark brown appearance to become green. Multiple pollutants and algae had discolored the surface of the granite globe monument. Our team created a sculpture treatment plan that addressed all of these issues and were able to restore the whole piece to its proper appearance.
