Restoration vs. Renovation

Somebody has this set of sconces listed for sale. For a whopping $2900!!!!!!!!!!! The finish is ghastly, and not remotely a restoration. Wanna see my work?

 

This is a restored finish.

 

Tooooooooo gorgeous, right?

    Those little flowers on delicate stems out of the top are too cute!

    I think people can really understand the difference when they see things like this side to side. It’s like a lightbulb going off. When I saw the first set, I was like, well, those are OK, but they look kind of cheap. And then when I saw the second, I was like – yup, that is right! And they look super luxe! Well done
