With expertise in oil painting, photograph and print, frame, etching, and watercolor restoration, we ensure that each piece is revived with care and precision, honoring its historical and artistic significance.
Oil Painting Restoration
Oil paintings are both visually captivating and delicate, often requiring careful restoration to bring them back to their original splendor. Our oil painting restoration process addresses common issues like discoloration, cracking, flaking, and darkened varnish. Through a detailed assessment, we identify the areas in need of repair, then proceed with careful cleaning, stabilizing paint layers, and retouching where necessary. Using advanced techniques and materials, our restorers work to revive the painting’s true colors and depth without compromising its historical and artistic integrity. Every restoration is a meticulous, step-by-step process that preserves the artist’s original vision and ensures the painting will be admired for generations to come.
Photograph & Print Restoration
Photographs and prints serve as invaluable snapshots of the past, capturing memories, heritage, and history. However, they are also vulnerable to fading, discoloration, tears, and scratches. Our photograph and print restoration services aim to bring these pieces back to life while retaining their authenticity. Using a combination of modern technology and careful hand restoration, we address fading, water damage, stains, and other imperfections. Each piece is carefully cleaned and digitally corrected, when necessary, to restore its original clarity and vibrancy. Whether it’s a treasured family photograph or a historic print, we preserve the essence of each image, protecting it for future generations to appreciate.
Frame Restoration
Frames do more than hold and protect artwork—they are often works of art themselves, adding a unique element to the piece. Over time, frames can suffer from chipping, tarnishing, and structural damage. Our frame restoration service carefully restores these elements, repairing or replacing broken moldings, stabilizing weak joints, and matching original finishes to restore the frame’s aesthetic and structural integrity. Using historically appropriate techniques and materials, we honor the craftsmanship of each frame. Whether it’s an intricate gilded frame or a more modest wood design, our team ensures that the frame complements and enhances the artwork, creating a beautifully unified presentation.
Etching Restoration
Etchings, with their delicate lines and textures, require a careful hand and a keen eye for detail. These prints are often subject to fading, staining, foxing (small brown spots), and paper degradation, which can obscure their fine details. Our etching restoration process involves gentle cleaning, stabilizing, and correcting discoloration, focusing on preserving the original quality of the artwork. We carefully remove surface contaminants and treat stains, taking every precaution to avoid damaging the paper or affecting the crisp lines of the etching. The result is a fully restored etching that captures the artist's intended contrast, depth, and intricacy, ready to be admired once again.
Watercolour Restoration
Watercolours are known for their light, airy quality and vibrant colors, which can fade over time due to exposure to light, humidity, and environmental pollutants. Restoring a watercolor requires a highly sensitive approach, as the delicate pigments can be easily disrupted. Our restoration process addresses issues like fading, discoloration, water stains, and mold, carefully stabilizing the pigments and cleaning the surface without disturbing the artwork’s integrity. We use specialized, non-invasive techniques to revive the watercolor’s freshness and original tonal qualities, ensuring that each piece retains its unique charm and luminosity. Through this meticulous care, we help restore the artwork’s soft beauty, preserving it for the future while respecting its delicate nature.
