Conservation is more than just repairing damaged objects. It is an interdisciplinary profession that combines elements of science, technology, history of art and materials to prevent and slow down their deterioration. From your family heirlooms such as the classic cane chairs to your more sophisticated sofas, sideboards, desks and tables, we deliver structural repairs, cleaning of surfaces, finishing, coloring and polishing as well as general maintenance of your furniture and historic objects.

Paintings
All paintings are given personal care by the conservator from examination through treatment. Guided by the needs of each painting, the process of conservation is subjective. Therefore, the cost for conservation treatment varies depending on the needs of each painting.
First, a visual examination of the painting sometimes using a microscope and ultra-violet light. Based on the results of the examination, a recommended treatment proposal is presented to the client describing the best course of treatment, materials, and estimated cost to conserve the painting with the least amount of invasiveness. This includes process techniques, objectives of treatment and alternative approaches.
The conservator, a minimal interventionist, abides by the code of ethics set forth by The American Institute of Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works.
