Ойын-сауық

Drew Pritchard brings Nick Elphick two classically inspired corbels that are in a very bad shape and need restoration, not just to make them structurally sound, but also to increase their value.

    Nick Elphick you're passion, talent and unassuming nature is a credit to you. I for one think that these restoration episodes are far too short in length, to fully appreciate the extent of the effort, thought and ability you put in your work. Respect Man 👏👏👍

    The spray paint was a failure. The original, subtle colors were very elegant and should have been mimicked and enhanced. Additionally, the sculpted hands, original arms, and and even faces could have been much more articulated. It sadly looks like the pieces were ruined with gaudy gold and blue spray paint. I have seen this sculptor's work before and he has amazing skill. This restoration does not begin to showcase his immense talent.

    Yes, they’re now soulless. They were enchanting but now seem like reproductions. Nick is very talented, but this project is not indicative of what he truly can achieve. Another one bites the dust!😢

    these are so beautiful! I wonder if they were from an opera house. just looking at their restored form makes me the main theme from phantom of the opera play in my head. they look like corbels you'd see in a beautiful high society opera house with red velet curtains and surrounded by other decorative gold finishing details.

    This is the first project Nick's done, I don't like. They look like they had fake tanning put all over them. There's no real separation between the face, hair, arms, etc. I don't believe drew liked them either!

    Agree, he is wicked talented.I think because he found they were gold gilded underneath he went with it, no wonder someone painted them so many times . I guess he did what was true to the piece, for me it was his worst ,Drew didnt like them either ..

    Love Nick but these pieces were too shiny, too radiator paint looking. Also how can Drew ask so little for the pieces? As a dealer, I know this restoration in America would easily cost over a $1,000.
