Every piece is hand cut using thesame precious woods* or other rare materials* the original piece was constructedfrom. When required, we will match the original engraving of the pieceby imitating, as closely as possible, the style of the original engraver.Missing bronze ornaments and decorative moldings are replaced by castingnew pieces, hand finishing them and gild when appropriate.
