Stations of the Cross
& Crucifixes.
Jeanette Lewis restoring a gothic revival crucifixion scene.
Here we present a selection of Passiontide devotionals which we have lovingly restored.
Images can be enlarged for you to comfortably view our work.
The Crucifix being significant to Catholic worship; accompanies the devotion known as the 'Stations of the cross'. Contemplating these images helps us to enter more deeply into the meaning and celebration of the Mass.
These 54 inch tall stations of the cross were restored to their original colours.
There had been some previous re-touching work which had to be corrected due to mismatches of paint.
Some protruding fingers and small parts were repaired,
along with damage to the oak frames.
We were told the parish children were delighted to be able to " see" the figures clearly, and read the story for themselves.
These 72 inch tall Gothic revival stations of the cross had been damaged during the second world war.
The figures were chipped and scenic backdrops painted out.
There was also damage to the finials and acanthus leaf decorations atop the spires of each.
The set was repaired, painted to match the original, and the broken carvings repaired and gilded.
crucifixes

The loin cloth was gilded in genuine gold leaf, and the finished piece made a handsome and contemplative focal point for the sanctuary of the church.
