Oil and Acrylic Paintings
Over time these pictures suffer from surface deposits of dirt and discoloured varnish, cracking and paint loss plus other damage and defects. The pictures are enhanced after restoration and cleaning.
Works of art on paper
Until quite recently, most materials used in mounting and framing of works of art on paper have been of poor quality and have contributed to their deterioration. The old acidic window mounts, support boards and backing boards generate acidic stains and foxing (brown spots) as they biodegrade. Cleaning can nearly always remove the stains and foxing and the pictures remounted to museum or conservation standard, thus preserving them for the future.
Frames
It is mostly possible to repair and refurbish old frames thus retaining the character of the picture.
Emergency Service
In the event of fire, flood, water and accidental damage, we will endeavour to give prompt assistance by valuing the damage for insurance purposes and give an estimate of repair work involved.
