Heritage Under Threat
Heritage Contractors and Consultants
The glories of a vanished age can once again be brought to life through patient care and dedication. Since 1946 in Canada, and for centuries in England and Europe, Le Blancq has been preserving some of the finest architecture, woodwork, furniture and art.
Le Blancq Design are not mere academic Heritage Building Consultants, rather, accomplished craftsmen with centuries of tradition at their fingertips. They have built, restored and replicated countless art and architectural details, including iron hardware and all manner of woodwork, plaster, glazing, coppersmithing, and stonework: in short, anything required to restore a Heritage Property to its original grandeur, right down to the landscaping.
Le Blancq also provides full Heritage Consulting services
Le Blancq owns heirloom antique tools and employs them where possible in the restoration process. These tools often fit precisely to Heritage woodwork, thus ensuring authenticity.
Their range is all-encompassing: Plaster and wood domed ceilings and niches, trompe l’oeil, faux finishing, and Interiors in the style of Adam, Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Sheraton, Victorian, Upper Canadiana, and Quebec furniture of the French regime.
And rest assured, a Heritage home need not be staid. Le Blancq excels at interpreting a design that is uniquely yours. Like fine clothing adorning a beautiful lady, solid, classic architecture serves as an excellent backdrop to contemporary furnishings and art.
Le Blancq Design has helped restore some of our National treasures, including:
Hewitt House, Royal Military College, Kingston.
Elizabeth Cottage, Kingston.
Grace United Church, Gananoque
