A slightly more unusual job came in this week, this antique toy horse is made from wood, with the main section consisting of sections laminated together. It has a gesso layer which is badly flaking and delaminating from the wooden substrate. The gesso needs consolidating and then areas where it is missing need infilling. The horse will then go to someone else to have the paint finish restored.
