Restoration and Conservation Services
Expert conservation and restoration, from diagnosis to completion
Every project at RSF begins with a thorough assessment and ends with complete documentation. Whether you are a private collector, a gallery, or a fine art logistics company, our team provides the expertise and discretion your works deserve.
Conservation & Restoration
Paintings
We treat oil, acrylic, tempera, and mixed media paintings on canvas, panel, and board. Services include cleaning, stabilisation, structural repair, retouching, and varnishing — each treatment tailored to the work's history, condition, and the collector's wishes.
Works on Paper & Photographs
Drawings, prints, watercolours, and photographs require specialist handling. Our restorers address tears, losses, foxing, discolouration, and mounting issues using techniques appropriate to the medium and period.
Sculpture & Objects
From ceramics and bronzes to mixed-media contemporary works, we treat three-dimensional objects with the same rigour applied to works on canvas — stabilising, consolidating, and restoring surface integrity.
Condition Reports
A professional condition report documents the current state of a work — its structure, surface, and any areas of concern - providing an essential reference for insurance, sale, loan, or transport. RSF condition reports meet international museum standards.
Emergency Interventions
Water damage, impact, fire, or sudden deterioration require immediate specialist response. RSF offers emergency intervention for urgent cases — contact us directly for a rapid assessment.
Fine Art Transport Consultancy
We advise collectors, galleries, and logistics companies on the safe handling, packing, and transport of works of art - including condition checks before and after transit, and liaison with international fine art shippers.
