RESTORATION

All forms of restoration undertaken, including:

​

  • Removal of foxing (acidic brown spots that look like fox paw prints)

  • Removal of watermarks/damage

  • Paper repair

  • Oil cleaning

  • Canvas repair

  • Re-lining of canvases

  • Photographic duplication and digital restoration (The image is photographed/scanned then digitally enhanced. The new image is then printed using our range of high quality medias as a replacement for the original. The original can then be safely archived and removed from display to avoid any further light and atmospheric deterioration.)

  • We can also make small frame repairs, including gold leaf repairs.
