Restoration Atelier

Respect for history.
Never over-restore.

A pump exposed to sun and weather for years is fully sandblasted. The blacksmith repairs the holes left by rust and straightens the frame, then it is filled, sanded and painted.

All chrome parts are re-chromed, the aluminum is polished and the gaskets are new and true to the original. Finally, reassembly.

Our Story

This is not a business.
It's a lifelong passion.

Private Vintage Collections grew out of a personal search for vintage objects tied to motoring culture, fuel and 20th-century industrial design.

Every piece in my collection was found in old European garages, historic depots or private collections, hand-selected and restored with the precision devoted to works of art.
