Oil Paintings
We clean both oil and acrylic paintings. We can also repair tears and holes, stabilize flaking paint, retouch areas of missing paint, and line old and fragile canvases.
Art on Paper
We do document repair and deacidification, and clean stained and mildewed prints, drawings, and pastels. We also repair tears and touch up both engravings and contemporary lithographs and giclees.
Photo Restoration
We can restore original antique, hand-colored photos, and usually have a selection of antique portrait frames in house, if yours is gone. More modern photos can be restored digitally, and in some cases, the restoration can be done on the original.
Dealing With Water-Damaged Art
If you have damaged pieces that are irreplaceable or just well-loved, the amount of time they remain wet makes a huge difference in both our ability to restore them and the cost.
Things brought in quickly, as soon as possible, or at least within a week, can usually just be dried, flattened, and maybe have mats and backing replaced. The cost is minimal. Have a look at a few scenarios and the possible restoration processes.
- Longer: Going on to two or three weeks and framed pieces usually grow mold. Some items, such as prints and originals on paper that are done with non-water-soluble media, can be cleaned (more expensive obviously, than just drying them out).
- Needlework: That has mold growing on it is unrestorable since to kill mold we must use a chlorine-based chemical, and this would cause the dyed yarn colors to run.
- Old paintings: Also need to be treated quickly. Mold will push the paint off the canvas, or in the case of thinly painted canvases will leave stains that are not removable without losing paint.
- The 3rd and worst stage: Something we have experienced with past storm restorations, is when so much time goes by that a usually cleanable piece of art on paper has grown so much mold that it degrades the paper to the point where it disintegrates when lowered into the cleaning bath.
So for anything that you are uneasy about that has gotten wet, or even just damp, the sooner you get it to a restorer, the better, both for your framed art and your pocketbook.
