Art Conservation and Restoration Services
Preserving the past, protecting the future of art.
Our Conservator-in-Residence specializes in the preservation, repair and restoration of paintings to ensure their longevity and integrity. Using a combination of scientific knowledge, technical skill, and art historical expertise, we carefully stabilize materials, clean surfaces, and repair damage while respecting the artist’s original intent. Our work protects cultural heritage and irreplaceable family treasures—allowing paintings, sculptures, and other artworks to be appreciated by future generations.

Cleaning
Cleanings remove surface dirt, grime, old discolored varnish, any old restorations bringing life and vibrancy back to your artwork.
Restoration & Repair
Application of patches to any tears, rips, or holes. Consolidation of flaking paint and stabilization of weak areas. Application of gesso fills to any loss areas. In-painting and/or glazing of any loss areas using color fast, removable conservation colors.
Relining & Stretching
Strip linings of paintings on linen or canvas that are in stable condition but need to be re-stretched due to creases and buckling in the canvas itself.
