A restoration studio at 227 Taniwha Street in Glen Innes, Auckland, which is also home to the Auckland Doll's Hospital. The studio restores dolls, prams and vintage toys, along with ceramics, glass, paintings, clocks, silverware, frames, books and furniture. The website says it does not buy or give valuations on dolls.
The studio says it begins each job by discussing whether a repair, a conservation treatment or a full restoration is the right option, and usually prepares a quote with several alternatives. The website says almost any damaged object can be restored, though restoration takes time. Bespoke doll clothing and shoes are also sold through an online shop. Teddy restoration and doll repairs are listed among the services.
Parking is free right outside the studio or on the street. Calls can be made on +64 9 570 5741 or 0800 ART 111.
Our pick in Glen Innes for a childhood doll or a pram that needs restoring by experienced hands.
