Assessment & Consultation
Submit details and photographs for a comprehensive condition assessment. We'll then consult with you to determine the best approach for cleaning, polishing, and lacquering, based on your desired outcome.
Cleaning & Polishing
To initiate the cleaning and polishing of your bells, we first soak them to dislodge ingrained dirt and oily buildup. Subsequently, each bell receives a careful hand cleaning utilizing a specialized water- based detergent. You have the choice of preserving the bells with their natural warm brown glow, or we can proceed with a professional polishing to reveal a radiant, golden gleam.
Optional Lacquering
For polished bells that are to be minimally handled, a clear lacquer coating is available as an option to deter tarnishing and ensure their enduring sheen. This specialized lacquer offers a nearly imperceptible layer of protection.

Customer Reviews
"This is not the first antique sleigh bell I have had restored, but it is by far the highest quality of restoration. WOW! I had a single bell attached on a loop so my Siberian Husky can be a sleigh dog this holiday season. We are both excited for the snow to fly and the bright jingle- jingle of the bell to ring on our walks! Thank you, Alexis!
