SERVICE SUMMARY FOR PAINTINGS
We offer a full range of services in the
conservation and restoration of paintings. We start with
a full analysis of the exact condition of the picture
insofar as it can be ascertained by visual means. When
required, we can employ specific scientific tests such as
ultraviolet and infrared photography, radiography,
computer aided image processing and many other techniques.
After analysis, we plan the project in detail and make
our recommendations to the client. Often there are
several avenues of action and the client is made aware of
his options and the expectable results.
