Empress Hotel
As part of the 2016 renovations of the historic Empress Hotel, Turner Restorations was commissioned to repair and refinish a few of its most impressive and iconic antiques.
Empress Hotel
Being used and displayed in the high traffic areas of the lobby and the dining room, these beautiful pieces were more than a little worse for wear. With several pieces of moulding, finials and fretwork long absent, the task of replicating and replacing them was at hand.
Empress Hotel
As well as having to do several structural repairs, extensive surface repairs were also necessary. Deep gouges, scratches, dents and dings were filled, veneer was patched or re-glued, and missing fretwork was tediously filled in and carved to match.
Empress Hotel
Before applying the final finish a variety of different products are used to 'touch up' the repairs. The new wood and fills are skillfully coloured and grained to seamlessly blend in with the age and patina of the beautiful rosewood.
Empress Hotel
This impressive and regal piece, with all its missing pieces replicated, and repairs complete is once again in displayed in the Hotels lower lobby.
Empress Hotel
Repairs, touch-ups and finishing complete, this elegant sideboard now sits in the famous Empress Hotels most prestigious suite.

Rocking Horse

June 4, 2017/by

Rocking Horse
A costumer brought in an old rocking horse that was in pretty rough shape. He wanted his grand daughter to enjoy it but as he himself had played on it as a child, it was in need of a great deal of work.
Rocking Horse
Previously having passed it on to his son, this rocking horse was now going to be enjoyed by a third generation. We were happy to be able to help with this sentimental restoration.
Rocking Horse
Disassembly has begun and the old bentwood supports will be sent off to a machinist to be replicated in metal, ensuring that this horse will work smoothly and be safe for his grand daughter to play on.
Rocking Horse
Next, the piece is disassembled, filled, repaired, and re-glued. With the prep sanding and priming complete, the first stage of the two tone palomino colouring is applied.
Rocking Horse
With all repairs and finishing complete, the horse was then retrofitted by grandpa with a custom leather mane, tail and ears; and with an authentic replica saddle and reins, his grand daughter will feel like a real cow girl.
Rocking Horse
Happy to have been part of this collaboration, this project is a perfect example of how Turner Restorations works closely with our clients to achieve their goals.
