Category - Other Film & TV Props

Our unique work preserving and restoring important Hollywood artifacts from Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal, Hellraiser, Jumanji,  and many other films!

We have years of experience in the field of restoration and stabilization of movie props and masks, specializing in foam latex restoration such as screen used pieces that have deteriorated with the passing of time. Restoring and preserving screen used original television and movie props as well as foam latex masks and costumes is a painstaking process.

Our approach emphasizes maintaining the integrity of the original and wherever possible preserving the original “feel” of the piece and evidence of age and use in a production. The goal is not a result that looks “brand new” (the way a replica might look) but to gently bring a piece of history back to life… to make it look “great for its age.”
