Introduction:

MONSEN PLATING & SILVERSMITHS repairs, polishes and plates precious metals and fine antiques. Established in 1904, MONSEN is one of the oldest plating and metal restoration companies located on the West Coast, building its reputation on high quality craftsmanship from the old world tradition.

Gary Reopelle, master craftsman for the past 35 years, is the proprietor of MONSEN PLATING & SILVERSMITHS. Gary consults with customers, authenticates family heirlooms, and oversees the repair and plating departments. MONSEN does not appraise, however, they will provide an approximate age, assess the structure, and interpret the hallmark of your piece.

MONSEN works with the highest quality silver, gold, copper, nickel, brass, bronze, pewter and other alloys. MONSEN can replicate missing parts; may it be it the handle of Great Grandma's samovar or the spigots of an antique silver coffee urn. MONSEN's highly skilled repair department casts, spins and solders, which has earned them the reputable patronage of museums and collectors throughout the Unites States.

MONSEN plates heavy, giving its work the quality look of a solid piece of metal. MONSEN offers a large variety of different custom patina and finishes, including bright, soft, satin and antique. Custom finishes can also be formulated to the specifications of the individual client.
