Tower of London Poppy Repair
This poppy arrived with a snapped-off lower petal, having been knocked off a shelf. The petal was glued back in place and the small chips filled with an epoxy filler which was then filed even. The area of repair was hand painted to match the poppy red.
The poppy was of great sentimenatl value to the customer and an important piece of ceramic history having come from the Tower of London to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. The installation comprised 888,246 handmade poppies, one for every British or Colonial life lost at the Front during the war. Due to the delicate nature of the poppies we often receive them for restoration.

Paul Cummins Tower of London Poppy Repair
"Had a Paul Cummins ‘Blood Swept Lands seas of red’ poppy repaired by Jennifer - to say it was in a bad way would be an understatement- I contacted Martin who arranged for the repair through Jennifer - no hassle service with quick turn around. The repair is faultless and I could no recommend this service enough "

Ceramic Deer Flower Holder
"Jennifer has magic hands and skills.
I was looking for someone to repair a very broken ceramic deer flower holder that over the years and many bothched attempts over the decades had seen much better days.The ear had come off, there was a hole and cracks in the body and the flower holder had a big segment broken off, ie it was destined for ceramic heaven. The deer had belonged to my much loved late gran, and had been a present from my very missed late uncle, so although it was worth nothing, to us the sentimental value was priceless.
Being inspired by the repair shop, I looked to see if I could get it repaired before it disintegrated forever and to preserve it for future family members to enjoy. I found this company and Martin offered me several options for the repair with different price brackets. I went with Jennifer, and I am so pleased I did. She managed to fully restore our beloved deer to its former beauty, something i had never seen as it was already damaged when I inherited it, and had been damaged for as long as I remembered. It was emotional to see the deer looking so wonderful.
Not only had Jennifer done such an amazing job to restore it, she made sure it was very carefully packaged for postage. This all came at a really good price of £100, which i was extremely happy to pay, and thought was amazing value knowing how much work Jennifer had put in to restore it.
As you can tell I am incredibly happy with the restoration of our beloved deer and would whole heartedly recommended anyone considering getting a ceramic repaired to fo so with this company.
Thank you once again Jennifer for restoring our beloved deer back to its former glory and preserving it for future generations. "
