This huge Majolica Boat came in quite badly damaged, the Cherub was
broken in two with a further break still attached with wires inside and
filled with plaster, which was part of the old repair.
There was a similar break on the beasts head and he was missing his
bottom Jaw, the cherub was also missing his right hand, and had numerous
chips and losses in the hair in particular.
All the old repairs were removed and the piece
carefully dismantled. It was then glued together using Fynebond after
first stabilizing with B72, the missing chip and sections were filled
and a new hand a Jaw were made.
The piece was then painted to match including the crazing which was all
over the cherub.
