Al Bar Wilmette Platers Silver Restoration

We realize the value of your silver items – not only from a monetary value but also from a sentimental value. We have always utilized the old methods of silver repair and restoration – some of our tools are well over 100 years old.
We perform detailed repairs with ivory & sterling, bone handles, dent removal, garbage disposal repair, solder broken finials & parts, cast missing pieces in silver, sterling, bronze, brass, copper and white metal. We also restore antique gold clocks, bronze statuary and figurines.

Bronze Statuary Restoration

There are many period lamps and statues that we have restored over the years. This type of work ends up being very enjoyable for our staff because every piece is so different and they are able to put their years of experience to the test.

If you would like to send an email or stop by our shop for a consultation please do not hesitate – we look forward to the opportunity to discuss your project.

We work with church congregations to restore chalices, candelabras, offering plates and other period pieces. Our staff has the ability to restore and re-plate in silver, gold, brass and more. Gold plating and gold lining of chalices is quite often done before major holidays.
