Restoration of old boiseries and heritage interiors

Old wall panelling, missing mouldings, damaged panels and heritage interiors require careful reading before any intervention. AC Boiseries restores, completes and reproduces solid-wood ornaments while respecting the existing design.

Old boiseries and solid-wood ornaments restored by the workshop

Understanding the existing work before acting

A restoration begins with observation: wood species, grain, joints, profiles, previous repairs and finish layers. This reading helps decide what must be preserved, repaired, replaced or reproduced.

Photos, fragments, plans and measurements make it possible to establish a first feasibility review before a detailed quote.

Reproducing a moulding or missing piece

When a moulding, picture rail or panel element has disappeared, the workshop can read the remaining profile and make a solid-wood replacement. The goal is a technically sound repair that blends into the complete decor.

Town houses, estates and character interiors

Boiserie restoration may concern private homes, heritage interiors, libraries, staircases, ceilings, doors or overmantels. Each intervention must respect the place, the site constraints and the expected finish.

Quote and working method

Send overview photos, close details, approximate dimensions and the project context. The atelier will confirm the missing information and the possible steps: survey, drawing, fabrication, finish, installation or shipping.

Frequently asked questions

Can you restore a badly damaged boiserie?

Yes, after diagnosis. Some pieces can be restored; others must be partly remade to preserve the whole decor.

Can you reproduce old mouldings identically?

Yes, from a fragment, a measured drawing or dimensioned photos. The profile, species and finish are confirmed before fabrication.

Do you work on heritage buildings?

Heritage projects often require coordination with architects, project managers or specifiers. The atelier can work within that framework when the scope is clear.

Do the boiseries have to be removed for restoration?

Not always. Some repairs are done on site; others require removal or workshop fabrication. The diagnosis decides the method.

An old profile to reproduce?

Send a fragment, a measured section or a few photos: the atelier will tell you what is needed to frame the reproduction.
