The field of historic restoration and preservation is necessarily broad. Completed works have included plaster restoration, paper restoration, fresco restoration, canvas and fabric restoration, wood restoration and refinishing, painted surface restoration, stone and marble restoration, metal restoration, and many other highly specialized tasks.

In addition to being able to complete any kind of historic restoration work, we are also able to do all the initial research and surveying of the surfaces. This makes our work as historically accurate as possible, since we do exposure, chemical, analytic microscopy and light-spectrometer tests to ascertain the exact materials and finishes used. We always provide detailed documentation for all work and do extensive mock-up and sample work in order to trouble-shoot the processes prior to initiating work. We use historic and old-world in addition to modern techniques when required, and our tradesmen have a huge palette of skills from which to draw.

While we are able to maintain the correct patina of age through research, materials and techniques, we also take great pains to update the final results with the most modern of conservation protectants.  All of this ensures that our work is as historically accurate and well executed as possible while having the advantage of increased longevity.
