1904 Torah Ark Restoration


This 118-year-old torah ark was covered in years of grime and soot. Various earlier attempts to keep the ark looking fresh had resulted in layers upon layers of unevenly applied stain/finish. Multiple broken panels and damaged ornaments added to the ark's state of disrepair.
