CHURCH STATUE RESTORATION
Our Lady
Statues of Our Blessed Mother Mary which we have restored. From traditional to modern renderings -too many
to include on site. We hope you will enjoy viewing the few examples we have included here.
Immaculate Conception
This classically sculpted statue of the Immaculate Conception had lost its historical character due to being repainted previously in the 1970's. We repaired the figure and returned its decoration to its original styling which was more appropriate for the church's 19th century interior, (approx. 148 years old.)

CONTEMPORARY VIRGIN AND CHILD
Contemporary carved wood Virgin and child statuary. Circa 1960 -80 possibly by studio Demetz and Stufflesser respectively.
The painted surfaces had deteriorated and lost adhesion. The figures were re-painted with features and colours replicating exactly the originals, ensuring all surfaces were stable, thereby preserving their original appearance for many more years to come.
