Water staining and dirt are removed, the panels are refinished, the unoriginal rail is eliminated in this location as the Post Office carts do not enter this area and there is no risk of abrasion caused by equipment. The previous rail was installed directly on the veneered panels, which created additional damage to veneer and deep hols in the substrate. This damage was addressed by infilling and matching to the surrounding area as much as possible. New elegant steel guards protect corner trims from damage. | Photo courtesy of GSA

By adding mass, the inner case lowers the resonant frequency of the object and thus the possibility of loss due to vibration. (Outer crate construction not shown) Bottom: View into open crate, inner case lid removed Tapered foam cushioning elements in outer crate provide progressive cushioning. As the foam is compressed, more foam surface is brought into action. © 2002 Terry Dowd, Inc. https://www.conservation-design.com/historic-dollhouse-restoration daily 0.75 2017-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510159722348-ABREN716S4T813DZVA3K/historic_dollhouse_.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510161300349-8QX1PR77F6ABK8S9B1Y0/historic_dollhouse_interior.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Historic dollhouse interior after restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160075727-6LJ6SI19ZS8IE9DUXJ7B/historic_dollhouse1.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Wooden dollhouse after restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160329604-X6EN7FIPZJ9KWFXUHV0W/historic_dollhouse2.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Wooden dollhouse before restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160408592-WIXTVDMX0M4FFGNR8J2L/historic_dollhouse3.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Wooden dollhouse interior after restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160456304-BTHDK5WZXD0A5W5RJJ8G/historic_dollhouse4.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Wooden dollhouse interior before restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160518834-JNMSG3W39XYMNT9N7WYD/historic_dollhouse5.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Detail after restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160616478-MJPRZ86ZM4364IWUZCYY/historic_dollhouse6.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Detail before restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160660143-NG0III6AYBVND61FSGES/historic_dollhouse7.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510160680337-ZVTTSSQM4ER1KT6DPPHY/historic_dollhouse8.jpg Historic Dollhouse Restoration Photo: Selected furniture pieces before and after restoration https://www.conservation-design.com/art-deco-elevators-restoration daily 0.75 2017-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510183382333-7RX7S27CZ6ST9SP3VGUX/art_deco_elevator.jpg Art Deco Elevators Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1510185213718-8NM4OF90QZXPBIRF16CQ/art_deco_elevator_restoration.jpg Art Deco Elevators Restoration Photo: Art Deco elevator cab interior after restoration;

Seamless by Design Example of two finishes on a Florine Stettheimer inspired frame design.

Nicknamed the “pie crust frame”, this profile is a bold statement can add elegance to an interior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553806906897-HRBVEVL0YZ16XY0LENAY/decorative-trumeau-frame-design.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design Hand carved corner of a decorative trumeau frame design.

The carving process, sanding, and application of gesso to prepare the surface for bole and water gilding is done in this example the same way as in gilded furniture. Note the attention of the design allowing for the continuity of the design at the corners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553807066146-6WQ063NOQ38Q8WJ6OBUC/white-gilded-frame.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design Raking light image of white gilded frame with smooth surface and no visible seam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553807099334-24FPVH0YPJQHLG97DNT0/closed-rounded-corner-frame.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design No visible seam and the rounded corner in this white gilded frame create a stunning look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553807156927-30ZKUILPWM6A86PC6CEH/customized-moulding-gilded-frame.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design Barbizon design art frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553807199358-S5IKJADT4D5D7KOZZFO7/Barbizon-design-frame.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design Detail of a carved reproduction of Barbizon design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553807255973-NYSK5R1JYLULASQ31L3G/Louis-XV-revival-frame-corner-cartouche.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design Louis XV revival art art frame corner piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553807287005-FNZ2AJGJUE69RTUHJ2NX/Louis-XV-revival-frame-center-cartouche.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design Louis XV revival art frame central piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59fcaa10a9db09f887fd466a/1553807410583-IAY52RQ03G9BZ0NG7681/Louis-XIV-revival-frame-sample.jpg Closed Corner Frames: Seamless by Design A Louis XIV revival design with a shallow ornate pattern adorning the rail.
