RESTORATION
PICTURE FRAME RESTORATION
Services include structural frame repairs, cleaning, re-gilding, repair of mouldings, retouching and varnishing. We specialise in restoring antique gilded picture frames and mirrors.
Repairs are always started following an initial review and agreeing the approach with the client. A new “old look” can be achieved by application of patina that is carefully matched with the original tones.
RESTORATION OF PAINTINGS
Paintings are subject to decay by air pollution, sunlight, damp, humidity, and time. Normally this is translated into an effect that obscures the artwork and makes the old oil-based varnish yellow. By removing the dark layer and the old varnish, it is possible to reveal the original tones of the paintings.
An artwork may also present areas of loss or degradation. The retouching, also known as in-painting, will restore the visual integrity matching carefully the original colours.
SCULPTURE RESTORATION
We can assist bringing an old sculpture back to its original glory from the consolidation process to the final retouching of the painted surface.
