If you have a painting needing attention, then these are the steps to take next

 

Conservation Matters provides specialist services in the conservation and restoration of easel paintings, principally oil or acrylic on panel and canvas. The studio offers three main areas of service:

  • treatment of damaged paintings
  • restoration of disfigured paintings
  • preventive treatments to lessen rate of degradation
  • This practice will undertake the conservation of paintings suffering from all types of problems from simple dirt removal to repair of tears and lining of paintings.

    This site seeks to explain a few of the processes and to inform why we do some of the things we do. You will also find information about how to care for paintings, where to find training courses, commonly asked questions and how to contact Conservation Matters.
