Antique & Period Frame Restoration
Our frame restoration service revitalizes historic and vintage frames to their original beauty. We assess each antique frame's unique features, from gilding to carved details, before creating a custom restoration plan. Our craftspeople use traditional techniques that respect period-specific design elements while fixing structural issues, surface damage, and finish problems.
Art-On-Paper Conservation
Paper artworks need gentle handling and specific conservation methods. Our paper conservation addresses discoloration, acid damage, tears, and creases affecting works on paper. We use archival-quality materials and reversible techniques to restore your prints, drawings, watercolors, and documents while preserving their authenticity and value.
Oil Painting Restoration
Our oil painting restoration tackles both appearance and structural issues to renew your artwork. We remove surface grime and yellowed varnish while respecting the artist's original intent. Our conservators repair canvas tears, treat deterioration, and stabilize flaking paint to keep your oil paintings beautiful and sound for future generations.
Photo Restoration & Archiving
Family photographs contain priceless memories that deserve professional care. Our photo restoration repairs faded, torn, creased, or water-damaged photographs using both traditional and digital methods. We also offer archiving solutions that protect your collections using acid-free materials and proper storage techniques.
