    We have restored countless statues over the years - most of them dating from 100- 175 years old. Your work is beautiful and inspires us! Thank you Sara! And congratulations!

    This made me think, what's the oldest object I own. My dad and I have bought and sold mostly American antiques for years. Most are 100 to 200 years old at best. But one thing came to mind. I have an 800 year old Chinese throne. I don't know much about it other than what place it sat for 800 years. I wish I knew how to find this stuff out.

      I don't know much regarding the process, but I imagine you could reach out to a museum or other groups interested in historic items and get some information.

    Hi, this was incorrect restoration process. After that, this statuette it really fell in price, and very much so. The figurine has lost its historical value. A competent collector will not buy it...

      She says it's owned by a private collector. They can do what they want. She is a professional art restorer. She's probably so grateful for your comment because she had no idea about the info you shared with her.

      By restoring a statue??? Are all statues "idolatry"?? How do you assume idolatry? Is someone worshipping it by restoring it? Even if you wanted to assume something more than what the video is about, historical figures except for the trinity are not idolized or worshipped. Google it.
