Our Fine Arts and Conservation Specialist Lucia Munoz-Barrena shares her most recent restoration work with us.
One of the often unnoticed great treasures of One Great George Street is the 1913 decorative balustrade. Entirely hand made with a wrought iron structure, it is profusely decorated with multiple cast bronze pieces which were all supplied by N.F. Ramsay & Co., the Newcastle upon Tyne lock manufacturer.
At The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) we rounded up 2017 with a week of conservation and restoration knowledge interchange.
Following the refurbishment project that was completed last year, we have now been able to assess the effectiveness of the energy saving measures that we installed, specifically our new boilers, secondary glazing to the Great Hall and replacement LED lighting.
In order to keep our stunning Grade II listed building and historical artifacts at One Great George Street in peak condition, our Fine Art Restorer Lucia Munoz-Barrena has a constant stream of projects to keep her busy. Here’s a behind the scenes sneak peak at her latest studio work…
I was honoured to meet HRH The Duke of Kent on Tuesday 7th February 2017 when he visited our innovative accessible entrance lift provider, Sesame Access Systems Ltd. The visit was to celebrate Sesame Access winning The Queens Award for Enterprise in Innovation 2016. The Duke unveiled a specially commissioned plaque to commemorate the visit, and was accompanied by HM Lord Lieutenant of Surrey, Michael More-Molyneux.
