Unlike today where we discard anything chipped or cracked, back in the 19th Century, broken household items were repaired at home or taken to a metalsmith to be brought back to life. Holes were drilled and then strengthened with metal rivets or staples to ensure that a much loved, quality item would continue down the generations. These old repairs add charm and patina and allow pieces to continue to be used successfully into 21st Century.
