Replica Castings for Antique Furniture Fittings
On occasion, you might find that metal fittings, such as handles and castors, are missing from a piece of antique furniture. If another remains, then identical copies known as replica castings can be made. If the piece is missing and there is nothing to copy from, then a suitable replacement may be carved from wax.
We are able to provide replica casting for missing furniture fittings using the lost wax casting process. The casting can be gilded to match existing fittings or aged to match. Furniture castors are also reproduced these have either brass or leather wheels as appropriate with steel pins hand riveted into place. To give an authentic look to any piece of furniture or chair.
