Chapman Gallery offers a wide variety of painting conservation
and restoration.
Older paintings often have a yellow tint caused
by varnish that has yellowed with the passage of time, residual dirt
and air-borne pollutants also distort colors thus diminishing the
aesthetic value of the painting.
After proper evaluation of the
painting surface, the best cleaning processes can be applied with
amazing results.
Torn or punctured canvases can be repaired and
there are many different methods used based on the type and extent
of damage.
Damaged areas and areas of paint loss are filled and
conservatively inpainted using reversible materials, employing
techniques that make the retouched area indistinguishable from the
rest of the painting.
Water Damage, Flaking Paint, Shrinking, and
Cracking are all issues that we can successfully treat.
Chapman Gallery also offers antique frame repair,
restoration and refinishing.
Watercolors, photos, and
documents can be repaired, de-acidified and cleaned.
