Welcome!
This is an official website of a Restoration studio "Atelier de Montplaisir" .It's become virtually impossible to run any sort of business without some exposure to the internet. The main idea of the website is to try to show to my potential clients and to general public some of my successful restoration projects carried out recently or some time ago and photographed to be shown as examples of what I can do. I'm also interested to be in touch with people who are professionally involved in activities similar to mine…
Things are beautiful if you love them

... I may offer my help and services in evaluation and identification of porcelain and Ceramics of European /Russian origin. I have some knowledge about the subject and have some contacts with collectioners in Russia... I will restore, conserve, consult, buy and sell ..
Restoring antiques is the kind of business you can never learn fully, for there are always repairs that you have not come across before, new materials coming on to the market, and new techniques to try out ,which is what makes it so interesting. I have always looked upon restoring as a sort of cottage industry, and a good way of stepping out of the "rat race" .And it is sort of work that calls for fairly constant improvisation from the person involved into process..
It's getting harder and harder for the collector and dealer alike to buy antique pieces in perfect condition, so naturally the good pieces in perfect condition going up rapidly in price. Both these factors are making a well restored piece a more attractive proposition than it used to be.
I like restoring fine European porcelain , antique high quality porcelain figures or groups in great detail .Whites or in colors.So, if you , for example ,have an old and charming but unfortunately damaged group/ figure with missing parts/chips or broken off head which needs professional treatment - please contact me and I will do everything possible to make it look great for many decades to come.
Restoration of porcelain is regarded as one the most delicate and tough type of restoration by many ...I read some slogan somewhere:"If you can porcelain, you can fix almost everything" .To (re)create something that is missing in porcelain ...In form and color. Invisibility... In biscuit, over glaze or under glaze....With materials that sometimes can be in conflict with each other and difficult to handle but ...If used properly - give best possible visual results and a guarantee for the long life of the finished restoration(20-30 years or more ) . The restorations I carry out are mostly Reversible - to be dismantled within several hours most if need be .Here come materials that cannot be handled by amateurs somewhere in the corner of the kitchen..
Fume boxes, Filters...airbrushes, compressors,air tubes, gasmasks of different type, countless tools of different type, etc .You can't without this stuff. I don't mention the chemicals...You need place. And like that - you are about end up in the Workshop...In the center of small but noisy Swedish city of Malmo...The good thing about all this is: I'm the one and only chief at my place.And I like doing it. Restoring beautiful things.
