The Conservation Room is an independent studio offering conservation, restoration and appraisal services for all paintings, across all periods
Led by Lucy Fellows (Courtauld Institute of Art)
and her years of expertise of working with leading conservators and experts in the field
A brilliant in-depth survey of our painting collection has identified a critical issue with one of the pieces. The remedial work has saved us a higher bill later and avoided significant compounding damage.
Lucy put our minds at ease with the smooth handling and expert treatment of our family portrait. We highly recommend The Conservation Room.
Any form of damage to an artwork’s canvas, panel or metal support. In the case of bespoke contemporary constructions, we can liaise with the artists and their suppliers to ensure any repairs are compatible with their original materials and intentions.
Varnish can discolour over time and the integrity of the painting suffers, as its palette, tone and spacial dimensions are corrupted. Careful cleaning removes these layers, revealing the work’s original splendour.
Layers of paint experience different stresses as they dry and age, resulting in paint cracking, flaking and being lost. Consolidation stabilises these layers to ensure the future integrity of the original artwork.
Restores the visual integrity of an artwork that may present areas of loss or degradation. Paint is carefully matched to ensure a seamless reintegration of the original image, as the artist intended. All studio retouching is reversible.
