Conservation

Conservation is the vital preservation of cultural heritage, achieved through careful examination, detailed documentation, targeted treatment, and preventive measures. It serves as the primary safeguard for ensuring the longevity of artworks and historical artifacts.

Focus of conservation: The focus of conservation lies in preserving authentic historic artworks. This process includes repairing and stabilizing structural components, as well as removing the effects of earlier, inappropriate restoration attempts that may have compromised the integrity of the piece.

Conservation Purpose: The purpose of conservation is to enhance and protect an artwork by stabilizing its physical condition and correcting surface disfigurement caused by deterioration or damage. Through this process, the structural strength of the object is reinforced, ensuring its resilience and preservation for future generations.

Through Expert Fine Art Conservation Treatments, an Artist’s Original Creation is Transformed into a Timeless Masterpiece.

Conservation Treatments

Facing

Protection of the original painting surface through the conservation process. This technique involves applying a temporary support layer to stabilize fragile paint layers and prevent flaking or loss during treatment. It ensures minimal intervention while maintaining the structural and aesthetic integrity of the artwork.

Lining

Protection of a painting’s support by attaching a new backing to the original structure. This process reinforces weakened canvases, distributes stress evenly, and helps prevent deformation or further deterioration while respecting the artwork’s original materials and integrity.

Deworming/Reinforcement

Treatment of the wooden support of a panel icon to eliminate insect infestations and strengthen the structure. This process preserves the integrity of the original wood, prevents further decay, and ensures long-term stability of the artwork.

Consolidation

Stabilization of exfoliated or flaking paint layers to secure and preserve the original material. This treatment safeguards the authenticity of the artwork while preventing further loss or deterioration.

Wood Panel Bonding

Reinforcement and stabilization of wooden panels using traditional techniques. This process restores structural integrity while respecting the original materials and craftsmanship of the artwork.

Traditional Wood Panel Bonding with

Mortise & Tenon Joint

Reinforcement of wooden panels using traditional techniques, creating a mortise and tenon joint to securely reconnect and stabilize the panel support while respecting the original structure and materials.

Bonding

Stabilization and repair of a broken wooden panel of an icon, reconnecting the original elements to restore structural integrity while preserving authenticity.

Canvas Consolidation

Stabilization of an exfoliated oil paint layer together with its canvas support to secure the paint and reinforce the structural integrity of the artwork.
