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.
In fact, our address is worth keeping nearby since even the impossible can be
achieved.
