Restoration
Every restoration starts with a diagnosis. The nature and extent of the damage must first be assessed. After this assessment, you will receive a no-obligation advice, restoration plan and an overview of the costs.
The plan may include the following activities:
- cleaning by removing surface dirt
- removing old, yellowed layers of varnish
- repairing holes and cracks
- retouching damage
- (re)lining*
- filling, painting and applying a new layer of varnish
- restoration of frames
All materials used are stable. The restoration is reversible.
During the restoration, photos are taken of the various stages. You will receive this afterwards, together with a restoration report. If desired, you can get advice about the climatic conditions of the room where your artwork hangs.
Your valuable work is insured during the process.
*The lining of paintings is an 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.
