"The "MAISON ANDRE" was founded in 1859 by Alfred André. The professional restoration of art objects and furniture he started continues today at 107 Bd. de Charonne, near Place de la Nation in Paris. The dedicated artisans are skilled in cabinetry, and also in the restoration of marble statuary, plaster or terra cotta objects, ceramics, ivory, amber, coral, etc They maintain the exceptionally high quality workmanship achieved by the founder, Mr. André. Specific examples are the rock crystal chest at l’Escorial, near Madrid, and the statue of Apollo in the Archeological Museum in Athens. Modern methods and new products assure more stable restorations than in the past. The Maison André’s four generations of experience insure the preservation of the sense of beauty and authenticity of restored objects, while avoiding errors of taste. Its synthesis of modern and antique expertise has earned it a worldwide reputation as represented in museums, art galleries, and French and foreign private collections. Temporary exhibitions are also part of the Maison André’s activity through mounting and presentation of objects.
