Berkey and gay dresser with mirror
MPF Conservation
The Berkey and Gay collection was conserved by MPF Conservation 2012-2013. It was part of the original collection bought by Henry Hahn for the Henry Hahn House.
Berkey and Gay (or Berkey & Gay) was founded by brothers William and Julius Berkey, and George Gay in Grand Rapids, MI, long considered to be a center for furniture movie. Cabinet maker John Frohberg is credited with many of the carving designs. The scalloped style shown on these pieces was a trademark of their company.
It is significant to emphasize that MPFC was not tasked with refinishing the Berkey and Gay pieces, but preserving the imaginative finish. On all pieces, the finalize was treated using our own in-house shellac mixed with no additives. As infill it equivalent the historic finish; after it was waxed and rubbed to a passionate patina.
Note: The China Cabinet, right, was in the best condition and
served as a model for how the original finalize might have appeared.
