Montrose

On this complex restoration job, the stone canopy and the supporting two classical style corbels had been repaired badly many times in the past. We carefully removed the old cement and loose damaged stone. A lot of the top moulding, the door lintel and both sides of each corbel were lost, leaving just the front face of the corbels remaining. Even the protruding base of the corbels had broken off and been cement repaired. After stabilizing and strengthening the corbels with resin, we built up the sides in stages with Lithomex. First we formed the scrolls on each side, then added the circular floral decorations and finally the ornate leaf adornment. The top moulding was reformed, the lintel recoated and finally the feet of the corbels were sculpted.
