Paintings are fragile works of art that require special care to assure their continued preservation. Whether your painting is an object of great beauty or historical importance, one of monetary value or great sentimental value, it is worthy of the professional attention and expertise of a conservator.

Fine art conservation is qualitatively different than general restoration. Restoration efforts focus on improving the surface appeal of an art object, bypassing long range concerns such as the structural integrity of a painting.

Conservation on the other hand, is dedicated to the long term preservation of the art object. Conservation takes into account the art work in its entirety before proceeding with treatment. Examination of the condition of the artwork and scientific analysis of the art materials are conducted in order to make sound decisions in the steps taken to preserve the work of art.

The decision you make in choosing a treatment can greatly affect the quality, life span, and monetary value of a painting.
