RESTORATION
All forms of restoration undertaken, including:
​
-
Removal of foxing (acidic brown spots that look like fox paw prints)
-
Removal of watermarks/damage
-
Paper repair
-
Oil cleaning
-
Canvas repair
-
Re-lining of canvases
-
Photographic duplication and digital restoration (The image is photographed/scanned then digitally enhanced. The new image is then printed using our range of high quality medias as a replacement for the original. The original can then be safely archived and removed from display to avoid any further light and atmospheric deterioration.)
-
We can also make small frame repairs, including gold leaf repairs.
An example of Foxed paper before and after restoration.
An example of a water-colour removed from the acidic board before having the foxing removed and re-tinted to enhance the original colour.
Both examples of badly tarnished varnishes covering oils, now restored with the old varnish removed and new varnish applied.
An example of a torn image and after having had the paper repaired (look closely for the hair line repair).
