Conservation of Archaeological Artefacts, Decorative Arts & Historical Objects

We believe that objects of historic and aesthetic importance should be preserved by carrying out the minimal interference to the object to achieve the maximum result.

Our treatments are always researched and chosen with the future of the object in mind whilst preserving the history and integrity of the object.

Each treatment is chosen with a view to its housing and, most importantly, to the views of the client.

See our services page and object pages for more information

We have experience in assessing needs of collections care through:

•	Condition assessment survey and report to objects or collections.
•	Preventative conservation assessment and reports.
•	Conservation cleaning and housekeeping
•	Training in all aspects of collections care including housekeeping based on the specific needs of the museum or house.
•	Specialised mounts and supports to fragile and complex objects.
