Conservation and Restoration Services

Expert conservation and restoration, from diagnosis to completion

Every project at RSF begins with a thorough condition assessment and ends with complete treatment documentation. Whether you are a private collector, gallery, or fine art logistics company, our team provides the conservation expertise and discretion your collection deserves.

  • Paintings

    We treat oil, acrylic, tempera, and mixed-media paintings on canvas, panel, and board. Our services include cleaning, stabilisation, structural repair, retouching, and varnishing, with each treatment tailored to the artwork’s history, condition, and the collector’s wishes.

  • Works on Paper & Photographs

    Drawings, prints, watercolours, and photographs require specialist care and handling. Our restorers address tears, losses, foxing, discolouration, and mounting issues using techniques carefully adapted to each medium, its materials, and its period.

  • Sculpture & Objects

    From ceramics and bronze to mixed-media contemporary works, we treat three-dimensional objects with the same rigour and care applied to paintings. Each treatment focuses on stabilisation, consolidation, and preserving the artwork’s surface integrity.

Condition Reports

A professional condition report provides a detailed record of an artwork’s current state, documenting its structure, surface condition, and any areas of concern. It serves as an essential reference for insurance, sale, loan, transport, and collection management. RSF condition reports are prepared to professional standards suitable for international museum and collection practices.

Emergency Interventions

Water damage, impact, fire, or sudden deterioration can require immediate specialist attention. RSF provides emergency intervention for urgent cases, with rapid assessment and appropriate measures to stabilise and protect the artwork.

Fine Art Transport Consultancy

We advise collectors, galleries, and logistics partners on the safe handling, packing, and transport of artworks, with condition checks before and after transit and coordination with trusted international fine art shippers.
