Berkey and gay dresser
MPF Conservation
The Berkey and Gay collection was conserved by MPF Conservation 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 production. Cabinet maker John Frohberg is credited with many of the carving designs. The scalloped design shown on these pieces was a trademark of their company.
It is important to underscore that MPFC was not tasked with refinishing the Berkey and Gay pieces, but preserving the original finish. On all pieces, the finish was treated using our own in-house shellac mixed with no additives. As infill it matched the historic finish; after it was waxed and rubbed to a warm patina.
Note: The China Cabinet, right, was in the best condition and
served as a model for how the original end might have appeared.
