Repair of a stone staircase

Project details

The first two ashlar steps of this monumental 18th century staircase were in very poor condition. We were able to restore the elements of the two curved steps and the start of the snail-shaped string. They were aged and patinated to be in perfect harmony with the old steps of the staircase. The handrail was re-fixed in the new elements.
