Ancient Pottery Restoration

Tomb Figures

Having grown up and completed school in Austria, I was accepted into Vienna’s University of Applied Arts’ five year paintings conservation and restoration masterclass.  In 1987 I graduated with the degree Magister Artium.  Soon after I found employment in the paintings conservation department of Vienna’s Kunsthistorische Museum.  Among other responsibilities, I was tasked with overseeing the preparation and transportation of over twenty important paintings to Essen, Germany for the 1988 exhibit “Prag um 1600”.

In 1989, searching for a bit more challenge and adventure, I uprooted and moved to New York City.  There I was privileged to spend three years working for respected objects conservator Friedrich Mang.  In 1992 I opened my own studio in Manhattan, where I came to specialize in working on very high end and important ceramics for a wide range of clients.  In 2003 I was approached by Oxford Authentication, Ltd to become their agent for New York City.  Since then I have been authenticating antiques in addition to my conservation work.

In 2011, desiring a change of pace, I relocated to beautiful Lakewood, Colorado.  I very much look forward to meeting and working with new clients here.
