<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ritzyvintage, post: 3548187, member: 18191&quot;]I&#039;ve decided to &quot;have a go&quot; at restoring this chalk-ware/plaster Art Deco sculpture myself. Repairing it with Black air-drying clay shouldn&#039;t be too much of a problem, but it will remain to be seen how best to overpaint the area as I want to avoid a complete repaint. It is fortunate perhaps that the damage is minimal and is in a fairly obscure area of the sculpture. I will also attempt to produce a metal spear to add to the dramatics of the piece. It is certainly worth my wile because it is an original signed period sculpture by Salvatore Melani.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also added a few pics of some other sculptures I have so far taken out of boxes. You will have to forgive the mess, but I&#039;ve only recently moved into another premises. My ever-faithful Sabino glass butterfly provides a sense of size &amp; scale to each sculpture <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]305515[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">&nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]305516[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]305517[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]305518[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">&quot;OUCH!!!&quot;</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]305519[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
