Carnegie Abbey Fountain

Custom Fountain for the Carnegie Abbey Tower in Portsmouth, RI. A 21' fountain designed exclusively for Carnegie Abbey. All of the interior copper piping, connections, and pump manifold were designed and installed at our shop. Also special fabrication of bracket work to make the statue connect to the two large bronze bowls. Lastly the installation/delivery was also completed by Aardvark Restoration Division.

 






Rhode Island College Gates


These gates date back to the original school on the Rhode Island College Campus. Badly mangled and missing various elements we restored these gates back to original condition. As well as creating new hinges and pins so they could be installed and working. These gates were missing many of the original lead rosettes and other elements that we recreated in bronze to match the originals.

















Lead Roman Statue

We can restore all types of metal antiques. From urns and planters to statuary and fountains. Wether it is bronze, lead, iron, cast iron, or other metals, we can fix it. Including aluminium. This is an early 19th century lead statue of a roman man that was badly damaged. Both ankles and knees were collapsed and there were many cracks in the arms. Our client is from Canada and has had this heirloom in her family for over 100yrs. She informed us until she met us at the Boston Flower Show, she thought the statue was gone forever.
