We repair, restore and clean a wide variety of items but
the bulk of our work falls into three main categories.
Oil Paintings
..Water-colours
..Frames |
OIL PAINTINGS
as they age become weak in certain areas. Stretchers twist, canvases
loosen, paint cracks, holes appear, pigments dry out and of course
dirt accumulation is the most common. All of these problems can
be resolved to bring the painting back to its original glory. |
WATERCOLOURS
and associated paper based pictures are very much more delicate
than oil paintings and therefore are not always able to be totally
restored to the original state. However the art- work can be
improved. Often the problem is caused by a low quality backing
transferring its impurities through to the main work causing
foxing and discolouration. It is important to remove this backing,
clean the discolouration without disintegrating the paper and
then de-acidify the whole work to stop any further deterioration.
Often during this work it is necessary to carry out repairs.
During all of the operations it is important to use conservation
materials and that any work carried out is reversible. |
FRAMES
are damaged and the finishes often get discoloured. In the majority
of cases the frame can be repaired, re-guilded or coloured. It
is not always cost effective to carry out this work; often making
a new frame is more economical. |
|
All of the above operations are time consuming and
invariably take 4 - 8 weeks. In most cases we will have to see
the work before advising, therefore visit our showroom would be beneficial.
