Restoration
The Atelier Simon-Marq combines traditional practices and technical innovations for the restoration of ancient stained glass. Our conservator-restorers study each stained glass piece and provide a rigorous diagnosis. They suggest suitable treatments and handle all stages of the restoration, with a historical approach, to preserve and enhance the heritage.
Historic skills
Jacques Simon was commissioned to restore the stained glass windows of Reims Cathedral after the First World War, based on rubbings made by his grandfather in 1830. The expertise acquired by the Atelier Simon-Marq in the field of restoration has grown steadily over the years.
