"Our heritage is all we know of ourselves,
what we preserve of it, our only record.
That record is our beacon in the darkness of time,
the light that guides our steps.
Conservation is the means by which we preserve it.
...It is a commitment not to the past,
but to the future."
- Long
Deterioration due to age is a fact of life with all physical objects as it is with artwork. Deterioration is constant, relentless and ongoing and the struggle against it must be continuous as well. Conservation treatment is a way by which we can slow down this deterioration and attempt to preserve the cultural significance of art objects for the benefit of present and future generations.
It is important to note, that all the treasured works of art and antiques we see when we visit a museum, are in existence due to the efforts of generations of conservators.
We at ConservArt combine stable materials, old world craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibility, with state of the art methods to provide museum grade conservation and restoration for a broad range of artwork and frames.
All work is performed according to the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice of The American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works.
