Museum-quality restoration for all your treasured pieces
Each service is performed by certified conservators using archival materials and techniques that meet or exceed museum standards. We provide comprehensive documentation and transparent communication throughout every project.
Our furniture conservation services address both structural and aesthetic issues in antique and vintage furniture. We specialize in American and European pieces from the 17th through 20th centuries, including Colonial, Federal, Victorian, Arts & Crafts, and Mid-Century Modern styles.
Services include: Structural stabilization and joint repair, veneer repair and replacement, French polishing and shellac restoration, lacquer and varnish matching, hardware repair and replication, upholstery consultation and coordination, wood turning and carving replacement, finish analysis and historically accurate refinishing.
We carefully evaluate each piece to determine the appropriate level of intervention, balancing preservation of original material with necessary repairs. All work is documented with detailed photography and written reports.
We provide comprehensive conservation treatment for oil paintings, acrylics, watercolors, and mixed media artworks. Our approach combines traditional craft techniques with modern conservation science to ensure both aesthetic improvement and long-term stability.
Services include: Surface cleaning and varnish removal, tear and puncture repair, canvas relining and restretching, paint consolidation for flaking or lifting paint, inpainting and retouching, frame conservation and restoration, lining adhesive removal and replacement, scientific analysis of materials and condition.
Each painting receives a thorough examination including UV fluorescence photography to identify previous restorations and material changes. Treatment proposals are tailored to the specific needs and significance of each artwork.
Our ceramic conservation services restore broken or damaged pottery, porcelain, china, earthenware, and glass objects. We use reversible adhesives and color-matched fills to achieve invisible repairs that respect the object's integrity while restoring its visual unity.
Services include: Cleaning and removal of old repairs, bonding of broken fragments, filling of losses with appropriate materials, color matching and surface finishing, stabilization of cracks and weak areas, desalination treatment for archaeological ceramics, glass repair and stabilization, display mount fabrication.
We work with ceramics from all periods and cultures, from ancient archaeological pieces to contemporary studio pottery. Each repair is customized based on the object's material, significance, and intended use.
We offer traditional water gilding and oil gilding services for frames, mirrors, furniture, and architectural elements. Our gilders are trained in historic techniques and can replicate period-appropriate finishes or create contemporary gilded surfaces.
Services include: Water gilding with genuine gold leaf, oil gilding for versatile applications, silver and metal leaf application, gesso preparation and carving, burnishing for high-shine finishes, antiquing and patination, repair of damaged gilded surfaces, frame restoration and regessoing.
We use traditional materials including genuine gold leaf in various karats, rabbit skin glue gesso, and bole clays. Each project begins with careful analysis of the existing finish to ensure accurate replication of techniques and materials.
Our sculpture conservation encompasses three-dimensional artworks in bronze, marble, stone, wood, plaster, terracotta, and mixed media. We address structural, surface, and environmental damage while maintaining the artist's original intent and the sculpture's aesthetic presence.
Services include: Cleaning and surface treatment, structural stabilization and repair, loss compensation and reconstruction, patina restoration for bronze, stone consolidation and desalination, wood consolidation and pest treatment, protective coating application, mounting and display solutions.
Treatment approaches are developed in consultation with clients and take into account the sculpture's exhibition environment, handling requirements, and historical significance. We can treat both indoor and outdoor sculpture with appropriate materials for each setting.
We conserve prints, drawings, watercolors, photographs, manuscripts, maps, and other paper-based materials. Our climate-controlled paper lab is equipped for washing, deacidification, and repair work using archival materials that meet Library of Congress standards.
