The company
Since 1997, Marie-Line Lemoine is at your disposal for all your restorations of dolls to give back to your ancient beauties their original charm.
After graduating from Ecole Boulle in 1993, she quickly created her own dolls after having gone through the creation of medals at Ambert, porcelain decor in Limoges and doll making at Fleurs de Porcelaine in Vichy and further training at a porcelain restorer at Maison Lafitte. Finally, in 2019, Marie-Line Lemoine obtained the title of Master Artisan of Art.
Her experience in the field of creation, she puts today in the service of restoration to intervene on the various materials involved in the manufacture of an old or contemporary doll: porcelain, composition, paper mache, the biscuit, earth, plastic composition, wax, celluloid, etc ... This list contains the most common materials but many possibilities are also to consider on the resin, prialytine or vinyl: inquire.

Restoration
The restoration of dolls
having to remain a coherent activity, it is still better to reposition a Twin head on a Twin body but sometimes for some parts remaining untraceable, it is always possible to manufacture them identically, see the section sculpture.
The philosophy of the company is to respect the object as much as possible by limiting the invasive restorations and keeping, as far as possible, the original characteristics of your doll. The goal of the restoration is to allow your doll or baby to become watchable, to last in time without being deprived of its history.
