Services |

The Consultancy offers a full range of conservation
services for the individual or large institution.
Following the examination of an object or collection, a condition
assessment is made with a written proposal of treatment and
an accompanying estimate. Wherever possible the client is
consulted over any major decisions. On completion of the project,
the client recieves a treatment report with digital photographs.
