ELLIOTT FINE ART RESTORATION
SERVICES
PAINTINGS
Cleaning
We employ a variety of conservation grade cleaning agents, solvents, and chemical solutions to remove airborne grime and dust, soot, nicotine, and aged surface coatings such as varnish from the surface of paintings. Proper testing is carried out prior to cleaning to ensure any products used do not harm the paint layer.
Structural Repair
Structural integrity is the foundation upon which all other restoration processes lie. At our studio, we are equipped to repair structural damage to paintings such as tears or holes in canvas and inadequate stretching or canvas tension.
Surface Repair
​
Surface repair addresses damage to the paint layer, including flaking or cracking paint or paint losses. From stabilizing delaminating paint, to filling and inpainting losses with conservation grade pigments, our artisan restoration techniques will bring your painting back to life.
