JESUS

Six statues of our Lord Jesus, restored to their original appearance.

As part of the ongoing refurbishment works of the Manchester Oratory; we restored this Ornate French plaster statue of the Sacred Heart made by Rafl of Paris.
All decorative details were carefully recorded and replicated by hand.

The 60 inch figure of the Sacred Heart at Saint Chad's Cathedral in Birmingham was showing signs of deterioration. The 'Blessing' arm had worked loose and was in danger of falling. Over a number of years its fading decoration had been inexpertly re-painted which appeared unsightly. Repairs were made using traditional methods and completely re-painted replicating the decorative details of the mantle .The statue was carved in Germany, and dates from around 1850.

We restored this 60 inch plaster statue of the Sacred Heart  for St. Mary's Benedictine Catholic church, Much Woolton Liverpool as part of ongoing refurbishment works.
The statue is by Rafl of Paris dated around 1900. It had been inexpertly painted in the 1960's giving the facial features a bland appearance. The gold detail of the statue  was in a state of deterioration and had discoloured to a shade of verdigris. We gave the base a marbled finish to co-ordinate with the sumptuous interior of this fine Benedictine building.
