RESTORATION We undertake the restoration of oil on canvas / panel, acrylic painting, watercolours, prints and other works of art on paper. Our restoration service is available to carry out minor repairs or large projects such as torn oil paintings requiring lining onto a new support canvas. We have an accredited list of restorers across Europe and can offer advice on finding a conservator in almost any country. Cleaning Oil Painting Prior to undertaking major restoration work we prepare a condition report of the artwork and its frame plus an estimate for the proposed work. Oil and Acrylic Paintings Over time these pictures suffer from surface deposits of dirt and discoloured varnish, cracking and paint loss plus other damage and defects. The pictures are much enhanced after restoration and cleaning. Works of art on paper Until quite recently most materials used in mounting and framing of works of art on paper have been of poor quality and have contributed to their deterioration. The old acidic window mounts, support boards and backing boards generate acidic stains and foxing (brown spots) as they biodegrade. Cleaning can nearly always remove the stains and foxing and the pictures remounted to Museum or Conservation standard thus preserving them for the future. Frames It is mostly possible to repair and refurbish old frames thus retaining the character of the picture. Objets d'art and Collectibles We also repair and refurbish portable antique items, objects d'art and collectibles. Emergency Service In the event of fire, flood, water and accidental damage we will
endeavour to give prompt assistance by valuing the damage for insurance
purposes and give an estimate of repair work involved. |
