Ivory Lamp Restoration Page One Page

Scope of Project
This masterfully done
silver and ivory lamp is truly a treasure to behold.
However, at some point in the past it received
some very inadequite restoration attempts. Along
with that is went through the Katrina floods of
2003. Two of the three missing parts, the right
arm of the mermaid and the tail of the same figure
had been previously made in a cold cast material,
like a plastic, then glued on and painted an
off-white
to try
and match the original ivory. My task was to
recarve
these pieces in ivory, (third & fourth row below)
the original material, attatch with pins and
a special
adhesive
made
especially
for applications such as this.There was also third
missing part - a tail from the second
mermaid. |

There
were also smaller sections where this special filler
was pigmented to match the surrounding ivory,recarved
then lightly sanded and polished to match the rest
of the surfaces. Both of the round
ivory sections were broken into four pieces (second row)
and were also refitted, pinned in several places
and
attached with the same adhesive. Each session with
this special material took a 10 day curing period.
It is extremely hard, durable, and will not discolor
with time. The silver metal sections were gilded
with 24 kt. Gold
leaf
then
subdued slightly until there was a very nice harmony
between the gold and the ivory.
A new Belgian Black base was fabricated with a
1/4" hole cut just above the bottom edge in
the back to accomodate the gold silk wire. Continue to page 2
