Our experts first make a careful analysis of the condition of each item to
be restored. With our years of experience, we artfully carve and cast
missing ornamentation, reestablish the original gilded finish, and create an
historically accurate patina. We can work through digital imaging and
give you a free verbal estimate on preserving your antiques and bringing them
back to life. For painting restorations, we offer numerous methods of
conservation. Among them are: cleaning, relining, restretching,
infilling, repair from fire and smoke damage, as well as repairing paint
losses and tears in canvases. We follow the Code of Ethics set forth by
the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, using
minimal intervention whenever possible.
