RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION

TRANSFORMING YOUR ART

Recognising the causes of structural and aesthetic problems is an essential step in determining the most appropriate treatment for every artwork. Additionally, it is important to identify and understand the artwork’s context through careful examination and research into materials, techniques, artist’s intent, and prior treatment history

A professional, meticulous team of conservators and specialists breathe new life into both historic and contemporary artworks, using a combination of modern methods and traditional techniques, every element of conservation and care from cleaning, varnish removal, retouching and consolidation to repairing large-scale structural damage is undertaken.

Example

Paintings on panel face unique challenges due to their materials. Left untreated, paint can lift, flake off, and destruct due to a gradual movement of the surface.

 

Common issues:

  • High humidity and water exposure

  • High heat and fire exposure

  • Surface contaminants (such as smoke and nicotine)

  • Rapid changes in atmosphere

  • Mould growth

  • Woodworm and past infestations

  • Splits and cracks

This damage can be restored using bespoke treatments for each individual painting, including those with aspects of gold leaf and tempera.
