Marble Bust - Giovinezza
The marble bust had been knocked off its pedestal and had many grazes and losses, especially around the head.  The owner came into Artlab for a free consultation on one of Artlab’s Consultation Day and asked us to go ahead with the treatment of the sculpture after the initial assessment from one of our skilled Objects Conservators.

Conservation Treatment:
The sculpture was cleaned and losses were reinstated with a conservation grade resin that was colour matched and shaped to blend in with the original surfaces.

Giovinezza was returned to the owner renewed and ready for display once again.
