Restored Antique Copper Bath, Lanterns & Wrought Iron Photo Galleries

Antique French Roll Top Copper Baths

It is satisfying to restore an original copper bath to this standard from its poor original condition…
Mark Standhaft

A complete reconstruction of an original French 18th century roll top copper bath, our client wanted it polished and the final result looks particularly striking. Amongst the many baths we’ve worked on over the years, we’ve also found photos of a rare tinned/hand painted example we repaired a few years ago.

Large Antique French Double Copper Basin

We’re probably not going to see another item like this again so it’s nice to resurrect a piece as impressive as this…
Mark Standhaft

Another example of some of our copperwork, a large rare double copper basin. When this item came to us it was stretched, out of alignment with broken seams and no outlets. Like the copper bath above, our client requested it polished but it still had to retain it’s history and integrity.

Antique Wrought Ironwork – Bench and Console

This sort of work does allow you a degree of creative freedom but you do have to work with symmetrical patterns and scrolls…
Don Standhaft

Over the years we’ve worked on a large number of antique ironwork and wrought ironwork pieces particularly French scroll-work, tables and consoles. Unfortunately we’ve only found photos of these two examples a simple wrought bench and console reconstruction. Much of this work has been repairs after all some pieces are over 200 years old!

Very Large Antique Brass Lantern

This is the largest lantern we’ve assembled. We are quite proud of our work on this project, an impressive piece…
Mark Standhaft

A completely new reconstruction/new build assembled from some original sections but with the main frame and door sections built using new materials. Made using traditional methods and weighted to hang centrally with cleverly positioned lead work. An impressive lantern, large and no doubt now hung as the centre of attraction.

Assorted Antique Brass Lanterns

These photo’s must really only represent about 5% of the total number of French lantern re-build, reconstructions or repairs we’ve undertaken in the last 25 years or so…
