The next stage in Dinsdale’s training took place with Dave Bray in antique metalware restoration. This training included the restoration of copper, silver, pewter, lead, and Ironwork. He also learnt the dying art of restoring antique horn, tortoiseshell, and ivory.
After Dave’s retirement, Dinsdale continued with the business of high quality antique metalware restoration for a range of customers including private clients, antique dealers, museums and historic building conservators. Dinsdale relishes this restoration work, lovingly restoring historic items back to their former glory.
