Chartres cathedral
In 2009-10 for Quélin S.A. I was involved in a major restoration programme on the façade of Chartres Cathedral. I was responsible for the restoration and conservation of the gallery of French kings on the façade. This included the structural repair of significant fractures, piecing in of indent repairs (see photos of the replacement of the hilt of Charlemagne’s sword), and cosmetic mortar repairs.
In addition, I replaced many other carved elements on the façade, notably many of the flowers surrounding the circular elements of the rose window, as well as indent repairs to foliage and grotesques.
