Understand the condition
We ask for full views, close-ups and photographs of the fixing. Share the metal, artist, age and earlier interventions if known. Significant heritage work may call for consultation with a qualified conservator.

Discuss repair of a metal sculpture
A loose limb, damaged base or missing detail calls for care for the original work. Send photographs of the object and damage. We assess whether repair, a replacement part or another approach may be appropriate before any work begins.

How does it work?
Repair or replace a part
The issue may be a joint, missing shape or damaged surface. Metal, structure, existing patina and reproduction rights shape the appropriate method. A photograph cannot provide a final diagnosis.
Plan for this object
After the first assessment, we explain what further information or inspection is needed. We then discuss an approach, finish, transport and costs, or recommend another specialist when appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
Can a broken part be reattached?
That depends on the material, fracture, load and earlier repairs. Send photographs of the whole sculpture and break so we can assess the options.
Can the original patina be preserved?
We assess the existing surface and discuss realistic visual outcomes. An invisible repair or identical patina cannot be promised from photographs.
Must I bring the sculpture in immediately?
Start with photographs, size, weight and location. We will then decide whether a physical inspection is needed.
What do you need for a useful price indication?
Send whatever you already have: a photograph, sketch, drawing, model or file. Dimensions, quantity, intended use and finish help us assess the production route. If anything is missing, we will ask you directly.
