Plaster conservation preserves the character and integrity of historic interiors and facades—from flat to ornate decorative work and exterior stucco. The goal is always to retain as much original material as possible.

Because plaster often serves as the base for painted decoration or adhered canvas, its stabilization is critical. Our conservators repair, re-adhere, and consolidate damaged areas using methods that protect both the substrate and any associated artwork.

When loss is beyond repair, we undertake detailed testing and analysis to develop compatible materials that match the original in composition and appearance—ensuring seamless integration with the historic fabric.

By approaching plaster, decoration, and artwork as an interconnected system, we preserve not just the material, but the full artistic intent. All work is guided by established best practices from organizations such as the American Institute for Conservation (AIC), the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), and International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM).
