Antique Van Ingen Tiger rug, stages of complete restoration.

Very faded with bald patches

filling needed in mouth

Several claws missing

One of the bald patches

Work started: Re furring nose,eyebrows and ears. I use real fur as I think it creates a more realistic finish, truer to the original skin. The fur will need to be dyed to match.

The re dying process begins

The pelt is now looking more like it should

All bald patches refurred.

Any missing claws made and replaced

The head restored and completed

And here he is completed! What a handsome beast!... Foot note: this skin has been totally restored to look as fresh as the day he was originally done, but some people still like their pieces to look antique so the colouring would be applied to suit.
