Rancho Mirage antique restoration by Museum Quality Restoration Services
A Rancho Mirage antique restoration client wanted me to repair a medieval mirror. The mirror frame was gilded and in the 14th-Century gothic style. The frame was broken into pieces and had to be fixed and reassembled.
Check out the project gallery to see the results. MQRS documents all work with photos, showing the process from start to finish. This keeps customers better informed of the progress of their orders.
