Old State House Lion & Unicorn Restorations

About

Boston, MA

2014

 

By 2014, the Lion and Unicorn sculptures that grace the roof of Boston’s Old State House were in need of restoration. Robert and his team had performed restorations on these sculptures in the past, and the Bostonian Society (now Revolutionary Spaces) and the National Park Service reached out to Robert. The Lion and Unicorn were deinstalled and restored in our studio. The restoration included re-gilding the copper sculptures. The head of the lion held a time capsule which was relocated to the base instead.
