The founders of Sterling Studios have all come from backgrounds in fine art painting or antique restoration. We know that attention to detail is paramount to the success of any project, large or small.
Our training, knowledge base and 75 years collective experience enable us to experiment freely with materials and produce work which is unique and innovative as well as more traditional decorative finishes.
