I just took this 200 year old frame in. It has 2 glass paintings that need touch up and extensive water gilding repair.
These are the jobs that I love getting into. It came out of one of them BIG R.I. Beach side home and has been in storage for 25 years.

Kim this is not one that I go into a little apprehensive, seems to be getting old hat.
This mirror will be for sale when it's done. The customer is having the repairs done for resale.
 
Finished up the frame and glass painting touchup

This took some time. If you know anything about water gilding.
