Restoration: your metalwork and chandeliers in good hands

Metal restoration at Paul Lorenz - craftsmanship that preserves history

Paul Lorenz has been working with metal for a hundred years. What began as an artisan workshop is today, among other things, a specialist firm for the conservation and restoration of historic metalwork in ferrous metals, bronze, brass, copper, zinc and more.

Workshop and science. We combine the techniques of a long tradition – forging, raising, chasing, fire gilding – with the insights of modern conservation science. We stop corrosion where it starts; we preserve historic surfaces rather than replacing them. Where an element is missing, we reconstruct it from physical evidence, from archive material or from a single historic photograph – to the same standard as the original.

A long-established network of foundries, glass manufactories and specialist workshops allows us to handle even complex projects from a single source.
