Conservation of Art, Artifacts, & Architecture

Conservation treatments extend the life of cultural properties, historic objects, buildings, and works of art. Our primary objectives include the removal of harmful or visually inappropriate materials and the implementation of protective measures to slow ongoing deterioration. These interventions are designed to minimize aging and deterioration while maintaining the integrity of the original work and ensuring that all measures are 100% reversible.

Every treatment plan is crafted to preserve the original artistic or aesthetic intent, reflecting the materials used in their creation. Our plans often include preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the building or object. Following a thorough evaluation and assessment of options, we determine the appropriate level of intervention. We meticulously preserve distinctive materials such as stone, decorative metals, architectural features, finishes, and elements of characteristic craftsmanship. When repair or limited replacement is necessary, we closely match non-original materials to the composition, design, color, and texture of the original. Our chemical and physical treatments are as gentle as possible to achieve the desired results while protecting the historic material, ensuring reversibility whenever feasible.

Our conservators adhere to the highest standards in all conservation, restoration, and preservation work. Each treatment plan is a custom solution, tailored to the specific needs of the project and client, ensuring exceptional care and outstanding results.
