We recently completed the fabrication of a 3000 lbs. block of Flamed Absolute Black Granite for a sculpture by Matt Devine. Our team meticulously handled the transportation and installation of the pedestal and sculpture from our Chicago studio to our client in Jackson Hole, WY. The finished sculpture now proudly adorns the front of their guest house.

This Late 15th-century painting by Giolamo da Santacroce, "Christ and the Woman of Samaria," required conservation due to cracking. Our team fabricated a MicroClimate Box inspired by the Mauritshuis and Getty models. The Temp/rH stabilizing UVF Vitrine, fitting within the existing frame, prevents excessive swelling and shrinking of the wood panel. Additionally, the mini High Accuracy Hygro-Thermometer enables precise monitoring of the encased atmosphere.
