Restoration ~
Oil Paintings~ Gold Leaf~ Antique Frames~ Restoration is the process of reintegrating the missing parts of art work or antiques in order to restore the original appearance. "It takes time, at least four or five weeks, to study a painting in order to take off layers of grime that have accumulated. Very old paintings have been varnished and there is an accumulation of dirt and smoke, often from being hung above a firephace mantel, so the original paint is no longer the same." "To bring art back to its original condition, there is manipulation of different elements and techniques. The original coloring process must be followed and the original hand of the artist must be preserved as much as possible." VISIT OUR ONLINE GALLERY OF ART & ANTIQUES
