    Erté 'Lily' Bronze Sculpture Double-Sided Vanity Table Mirror, Signed, 1980's
    Pdx S.

    As the photos show, this Art Deco original Erté bronze double-sided vanity table mirror was damaged in shipping. I went in search of an art restorer and found the best possible person (and conservation lab) in Portland, Jason Jones. Repairing this multi-decade anticipated Erté piece was not easy. The replacement mirrors had to be precisely cut, polished and drilled to reset to the polycarbonate base as well as the polycarbonate vertical section to accommodate the 45° articulated bronze and mirror. This is a very heavy item. Jason was unflinching in his agreement to take in this piece and his confidence in restoring it to its original splendor was all I needed to know. 'Lily' is home where she belongs; in situ photos also attached. Thank you again, Jason, for your skill, patience and exceptional quality work. His studio contains a plethora of different artistic items needing repair. One visit will show you the depth and breadth of his skill. Call him, you won't be disappointed.

    Jason's ability to repair or restore artwork is in itself a work of art. He faced two steep challenges when I found him through a simple Google search, distraught that two beloved pieces of artwork that my 95-year-old father made were damaged when FedEx packed and shipped them from Boynton Beach, Fla., to my home in Portland, Ore. One was not only smoothing out cracks across a unique hybrid sculpture painting in honor of 9/11 encased in a lovely gold frame, but also reinforce the back of the piece. I didn't realize there was severe damage until he pointed it out. When he explained what it would entail, I was stunned to learn how weakened the link between plaster and plywood was and that it was a miracle it didn't fall to the ground years before while adorning my parents' foyer. The second task was also enormous, though in a different way. He had to reconstruct the head of a rotund man sporting a dark green blazer that my Dad warmly dubbed the "Bon Vivant." In attempting to describe what the face and head looked like, I referenced popular singer Robert Goulet as a creative marker. I was hoping the finished result would at least match the large body. Jason completely exceeded my expectations on both projects! He's truly gifted, and I would highly recommend that anyone who needs their artwork repaired or restored in some way hire him on the spot.

    Jason always has interesting art to enjoy when you visit his Laboratory / Gallery...

    I had a Meissen figure that arrived from Germany missing the tip of a dog's tail and stumbled upon Jason's website and instantly realized he was well qualified to restore and conserve this unique piece of art. He is the real deal and so down to earth. I believe he could restore or conserve any work of Art but I am certain he would tell you if it was beyond his ability. You owe it to yourself to meet with him and discuss your needs. It will be time well spent!

    Before

    This cowboy statue was my grandfathers and as you can see (in photos)that the knee was broken and had chips and cracks; Jones Sculpture Studios repaired my grandfathers statue better than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend his expertise

    After cleaning!  This old painting was brown and the depth of color was gone.  Not now!

    I am an avid antique art collector. Over the years its been hard to find someone that does restorations and cleanings at a fair price and that doesn't take a year. I am so glad I found Jason. He's honest, reliable, and he does beautiful work. It is obvious he enjoys his craft as it shows in the detail and care he has taken with each piece I have brought him. Great Guy, Great Work and Fair prices.

    Jason did an outstanding job of cleaning a ceramic sculpture that belonged to my mother. I am thrilled with the result.

    A Peter Zweifel Vase did not survive its transport from Germany. Jason mended it and it is as good as new! Thank you!
