Consultancy Work For Port Sunlight Village Trust
Port Sunlight Village Trust, who care for the unique village founded by ‘Soap King’ William Hesketh Lever in 1888, have used Antique Bronze for several years for advice and guidance on the conservation of their marvellous public sculpture. In 2023, we supported them by providing advice on the conservation of their incredible war memorial. This work included conservation assessments and reports, method statements, project management advice, analysis work, advice on materials, ethical considerations and historic research.
Support and Advice For Those Running Complex Sculpture Conservation Projects
Helping councils and their team with complex conservation projects is something we specialise in. Many of the team responsible for historic sculpture have not had training in bronze conservation and may need someone to help them tackle the difficulties that such projects often bring.
The works carried out for Port Sunlight Village Trust last year included conservation assessments and reports, method statements, project management advice, analysis work, advice on materials, ethical considerations and historic research. The aim of this support was to enable those in charge to make good decisions about their historic bronze sculpture and to be there to advise the contractors about technical aspects of the work and quality standards.
