Paintings Conservation
Paintings are treated as historical documents and objects of beauty in equal measure — stabilising what is fragile, removing what obscures, and reintegrating only what is genuinely lost.
Our approach
Every painting begins with examination, not intervention. Under raking light, ultraviolet fluorescence, and magnification, the work's condition is mapped: the soundness of the support, paint, and ground, the nature of the varnish, and the extent of any earlier restoration.
From that examination a treatment is proposed — and never more than the work requires. Retouching stays strictly within areas of loss, and every material introduced can be removed by a future conservator.
