CONDITION REPORTS
The first part of any studio work is a condition report, conveying the results of our initial analysis and assessment.
DOCUMENTATION
The report is also an essential document to have before and after conservation.
CLEANING
Cleaning is a delicate process, carried out after thorough testing and examination.
TEAR MENDING
We employ a wide range of techniques and methods to restore torn or damaged works on canvas
CONSOLIDATION
Consolidation stabilises layers to ensure the future integrity of the piece and make it safe for any further treatment procedures.
VARNISH REMOVAL
Careful cleaning removes layers, revealing the work’s original splendour.
RETOUCHING
Retouching, restores the visual integrity of an artwork that may present areas of loss or degradation. Paint is carefully matched to ensure a seamless regeneration of the original image, as the artist intended. All studio retouching is reversible.
LINING
The lining of paintings is a process of conservation science and art restoration used to strengthen, flatten or consolidate oil or tempera paintings on canvas by attaching a new support to the back of the existing one.
