Painting restoration & frame repair

Oil paintings cleaned and restored, and worn or damaged frames brought back, so a family piece can go back on the wall.

Ornate gilt oval frame with carved leaf ornament

Paintings dull over the years. Smoke, dust and old varnish settle on the surface, and colors that were once bright turn muddy. Frames get knocked, corners open up and ornament chips. Both can often be brought back.

As one reviewer noted, this shop doesn’t only frame and run a gallery: “they also restore paintings.”
