Production of goldsmith objects or replicas of all kinds for permanent and special exhibitions or museum shops or as a replacement for longer-term restorations or loans

We manufacture goldsmith objects or replicas of exhibition objects for permanent, individual or special exhibitions. In addition to the presentation of the originals in the find context, additional showcases, often even enriched with interactive forms of presentation, are often equipped in order to show visitors to the exhibition various production steps, historical connections or geographical references.

As a rule, these exhibits or replicas are manufactured on the basis of your scientific material analyses.

For longer-term restoration measures or loans to other museums, we will produce replicas of the goldsmith objects that have been removed or loaned, which are largely true to the original but are cost-optimized.

Replica of historical goldsmith objects based on scientific analyzes of original finds

For commissions from museums, we often work in close cooperation with the respective client to draw on scientific material and the analysis results of material tests carried out by the respective museum. Here, as a rule, very precise and detailed specifications are made about the later properties of the desired goldsmith replicas, for example by the curators or art historians.

On the basis of these specifications, we then make replicas of the found objects, e.g. the original state of use. These replicas are then often exhibited alongside the originals in order to give visitors a precise idea of ​​the original condition and how the finds were used at the time:
