PRINT RESTORATION
Antique prints are extremely vulnerable to damage from changing conditions that are detrimental to their health. Light, heat, damp, even the mounts and frames they are in can cause damage; paper is after all very fragile. Fortunately, we are highly skilled in restoring many types of print including:
Lithographs
Woodcuts
Mezzotint
Etchings
We will give your print the most careful and considered treatment whatever its age and condition, striving to maintain its historical integrity whilst giving it a new lease of life.
Each print will be individually assessed in person before providing you a proposal and quote for the work needed. The types of restoration we can provide include:
Tears and creases
Water fire and smoke damage
Mould growth
Once the work is complete to your desired finish, we can offer a bespoke framing service, including conservation-appropriate mountings to prevent future damage, such as UV protective glass and acid-free surroundings.
