Coalbrookdale Fern Bench – 3

This fern Coalbrookdale bench came in to Ironart from our clients in Merseyside for an overhaul in 2014. The cleaning process revealed plenty of pinholes in the casting which can clearly be seen in the pics below but the overall condition of the bench was good. Some of the mounts had broken and the fixings had corroded , Martin had to drill through the heads of the screws to release them. It was pleasing to see more examples of what was probably the original painted finish on the bench. We can offer full reconditioning service, but in this instance the client replaced the wooden slats post restoration.
