This piece, after all, is not just a piece of Western Australian history. It is an important piece, with national significance, and it must be treated with the highest of respect. Factoring in all the elements of the restoration of the kneeler has been complex. Some of these processes are done with long waiting periods for settling of the joinery, material tests, and French polishing. A true testament to the fine craftsmanship of the late ‘800 in Australia, the Bishop Hale Kneeler will now be able to last for many generations to come.
