Makarioi Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hi everyone, My grandmother had a statue of Our Lady that was kept on her dresser in her bedroom that was given to her by my grandfather. As a child, I used to just sit and stare at her, pray and wonder as a child would. Her face is beautiful. The colors of her clothing have yellowed over time, but her colors were never 'bright'. I have the statue and I'd say she must be at least 68-70 ish years old. She has a few chips and I was wondering if anyone ever had a statue repaired or restored. The statue is very special to me and I need a pro! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita92 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 You can find repairers on the internet. Just Google it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr.christinaosf Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We've had a few of our statues here repainted by a local man. He's the cousin of a couple of our residents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makarioi Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Wasn't impressed by what resulted in Google Nikita which is why I asked here. However, Sr Christina gave me the idea of asking our Cathedral and Shrine about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that I've shopped in, the owner has actually restored/repainted statues herself and they've turned out well. At a similar shop, they'd probably know somebody.

inperpetuity Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 There is a nun at the Buffalo Carmel who does exquisite statue restoration for a donation. If you are in the US, and would like more info., please pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
