    Architecture

    Many private and public properties feature ornamental and structural metalwork which needs to be conserved, either as part of the owner's wishes, or due to listed building status. These sections could be as simple as gates and railings, or as complex as ornamental finials and cupolas.

    Fame, Bank of Scotland



    High up on the Mount in the heart of Edinburgh, the statue of Fame stands on the cupola at the top of the Bank's head office. The statue is cast in spelter, a zinc alloy prone to corrosion. We cleaned and repaired the statue, and applied a protective and decorative gilding.

    Cliveden Finials



    Cliveden hotel's architecture exhibits a number of intricate and detailed gilt finials, constructed from lead, bronze and stainless steel. We were commissioned to conserve, restore, replicate, and regild the finials.

    Spirit of Electricity, London



    Public sculpture sited where it can be seen to its best advantage in cities and urban areas often presents different, but no lesser problems than with private sculpture. Eura Conservation is experienced in liaising with city authorities, the police and the public service companies as well as complying with safety and security regulations. Here, the main 40ft long section of the 7-and-a-half tonne bronze, "Spirit of Electricity" by Geoffrey Clarke is being lifted from the tower block where it normally resides.

    Westminster Central Hall



    The four massive lead Armorial Achievements, which sit on the parapet of Westminster Central Hall were suffering from creep, fracturing and distortion and the armature had failed. We constructed a new armature for the sculptures, and restored their shapes, so that their future place, overlooking the Palace of Westminster, can be assured.

    Waddesdon Cupola



    Eura Conservation Ltd. was retained to reconstruct the cupola, crowning a tower at Waddesdon Manor. Much of the detail was missing, and that which remained was in such poor condition that it was necessary to totally reconstruct the cupola from an early-20th-century photograph.
