Conservation Hinging

Some artwork and photographs require special treatment for preservation purposes. We can preserve your art in conservation-grade framing and use non-invasive hinging techniques if you believe this is right for your piece.

Hinge-free mounting secures your artwork or photographs onto a mat without adhesive or tape threatening damage.

How much does Art Restoration cost?

All restoration jobs must be assessed by our team to be properly quoted. That being said, we want to make it easy for you. Contact us to tell us about your piece, and send us pictures so we can assess the damage in advance of seeing it in person. This way, we can give you a rough ballpark before you commit to bringing it in.

To fix a priceless painting or family heirloom may well be worth any cost, but we will be sure to provide you accurate, reliable pricing with our assessment process. 

We accept pieces from all over the globe. We can help you arrange to safely ship your piece here.

Cleaning

Dust, dirt, smoke (and even spider poop!!) can build up on paintings, frames, and objects. Surface cleaning involves non-harmful chemicals and a steady hand. A layer of varnish may need to be removed when a piece has been stained. After a cleaning, a fresh layer of varnish may be added to protect the piece.

Repair Tears

Tears in canvas can be tragic, but adding a patch, and retouching the painting to an exact match is an art in itself. No matter how bad the tear, it can be restored. We can talk to you about how to safely ship your piece to us without causing further damage.

Fix Damage

Paint can become chipped. Objects can be damaged. Scratches and bumps and bruises and more. First, a hole may need to be filled with conservation grade fillers. Then, it takes specialty materials and a huge library of paints and finishes to match the original finish in the damaged area.
