Since 1983, we have offered an ever-widening array of conservation services. After beginning as a provider solely for paintings conservation, we have grown to include the conservation of works of art on paper, photography, textiles and murals. An overview of our services can also be found in our brochure and in our Company CV.
Most recently, we have added conservation services for furniture, custom framing and decorative objects. We welcome you to join us as we celebrate the four year anniversary of the Furniture laboratory, and the three year anniversary of our Gilding and Frame Conservation Department.
As an extension to our conservation departments, we also offer options for conservation archival framing, mounts, and museum quality vitrines. Additionally, we are proud to offer you the option for professional art and furniture handling, transported by our trained art handlers in our alarmed, air ride, and climate-controlled vehicles.
Our expert staff and well equipped labs offer proven and up to date conservation services and treatments. Careful consideration, including an assessment of condition, is given to each work of art or piece of furniture. A customized treatment plan is then developed to address the special needs of the item in question, with regard to the stated client requirements. Treatment plans are created and monitored to completion utilizing the least invasive, most reversible and archival materials currently available to the conservation community.
Please view a list of our credentials and qualifications or read more about our advisory board and staff members. We invite you to sign up for our bi-monthly newsletter. We also welcome you to visit and tour the facility, and are happy to answer your inquiries.
As a conservation company, we understand our role as partners and stewards in the care of your treasured collections. Therefore, we take every measure to honor an artist’s original intent and characteristics. This is our role as conservators and represents the heart of what we do.
We invite your inquiries as well as the future opportunity to assist you with our services. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Heather Becker
CEO, The Conservation Center
