Refurbishment of a Coat of Arms

This Coat of Arms is housed in the Michaelis Collection on Greenmarket Square in Cape Town. The project was challenging, as the museum was open to the public during the time of refurbishment.

Scaffolding had to be erected to access the coat of arms and to provide a thoroughfare for visitors.


After extensive research a colour scheme was developed according to historical references.


The final result shows a lively combination between gilding and paint finishes.
