PETER GEDRYS Architectural Finishes
Master restorer
"Restoration is a very broad term. Often, components as well as finishes are missing from a piece and must be replaced. Whenever possible conservation is practiced to stabilize an object or preserve a coating. I employ both traditional and modern materials in this endeavor. I believe we are just care takers of the objects we are entrusted with, so great care is taken to ensure longevity and reversibility for future generations."
