Every business is born of consumer demand based on recognized need. For Bodine Conservations, that need has to do with antique furniture and decorative arts.

Our customers are museum curators, fine arts dealers, veteran collectors and private clients like you. They know that our work encompasses every aspect of conservation and/or restoration. These processes include •boulle, •casting, •carving, •veneering, •marquetry, •turning, •objects, •historic finishes, •structural repairs, •water and oil gilding, •conservation of surfaces, and •reproduction & custom work.

Things fall apart

Your need to safeguard a prized possession exists because, as a colleague of ours muses online, “Things fall apart.” Anything made of wood, plaster or brass cannot last forever without attention. So we
at Bodine Conservations give new life to those furniture pieces and decorative arts pieces which have fallen apart, preserving their intrinsic worth and external beauty.

Through careful documentation, we recognize that each piece you entrust to us has a history – and a future – inherent with unique problems, design challenges and solutions.

We put things back together

Bodine Conservations can make these heirlooms and acquisitions whole again for generations yet to come. In so doing, we can restore their place in history for all who encounter and enjoy them. 

Whether your investment be curatorial, financial and/or emotional, much is at stake here. We call it tradition, an intangible we honor. For you, legacy may be the term that matters even more.
