Conservation of fine art
As Art Conservators We Preserve History
As art conservators, we understand the obligations and responsibilities that we have in order to preserve history through art and we do so professionally and in accordance with the International Conservation Code of Ethics. In our establishment we will make every effort to address all the concerns you might have regarding the conservation of art, including costs, and guide you when making a decision that will prolong the life of your heirlooms.
There are primarily two methods commonly used in repairing a torn or punctured oil painting on canvas. The damaged area of the painting can be patched with a small piece of canvas at verso and a reversible conservation adhesive with application of heat, or the entire painting can be lined onto a new supporting canvas. Several factors should be considered to determine when patching may be a good choice for repairing a damaged oil painting and when a full lining of the entire canvas should be considered instead. Deciding which of the two treatments will best restore your piece depends on the size of the tear, the distortion of the tear from the impact and the overall condition of the painting. A conservator will be able to go over the options with you when making the decision free of cost.

what our clients say
I had 5 pictures from Nepal framed at XCRestoration and they were exactly what I wanted. They took a lot of time to give me ideas and worked with colors to see what was most esthetic. I was very happy each and everytime. Good pricing as well!! Thanks you.
