Art and Frame Restoration

Here is a list of the things we restore:-

• Artworks - repair, restoration and conservation of oil paintings, water colours, pastels and all paper art.

Stage 3 of Oil painting restoration
This Oil painting is part-way through our meticulous restoration process and shows how much clearer the picture becomes after just one of the cleaning stages this painting went through before it's final clean and varnish. The customer was delighted with the result and it is now retained in the family for future generations to enjoy.

• Frames - repair, re-ornamenting, re-making, re-gilding, re-polishing, re-finishing, re-glazing.

Here are 2 examples of damaged frames we reinstated to their former magnificence.

You can see the damaged mitres, uneven or completely missing gold leaf, with chips & damage marks throughout.

Before this frame was Restored — This is the damaged frame before repair.

After this frame was Restored — This is the frame after repair.

We re-joined the mitres, recreated the missing pieces of the frame and applied gold leaf to all missing areas as well as freshened the old gold leaf. A fresh coat of custom and specifically created paint colour was made and applied all over.
Then we carefully refitted the frame with its original artwork and it became ready to be admired for centuries to come!

• Clocks and Ornaments.

Restored Antique Clock
This Antique clock is just one of the many things that we restore and re-gild.

• Tapestry Art - repair and conservation of longstitch, embroideries and doileys.

• Certificates and Documents - clean, repair, de-acidify and remake.

• Mirrors - repair, re-silver and replace both glass and frames.

Of course you can try and do it yourself, but the risks are greater the more valuable your item in need of restoration/repair.
If you really want to DIY, we recommend you use what we use - Howard Quality Wood Care Products, for all timber surfaces.
