Paper and Photograph Conservation / Restoration

Object of conservation/restoration

The customer always acquaints me with the current condition of the object of conservation and informs me of the intentions and requirements of the parties to its intended conservation. Based on visual research, I suggest possible solutions. I can almost never guarantee 100% visible results. The reason is, for example, the damage in the form of unwanted stains, which due to their nature may not always be completely eliminated in a safe way. Part of my service includes photo documentation of the object condition before and after restoration process. Complex restoration documentation is provided exclusively to institutions.

 

Principles

The customer acknowledges that by concluding of a contract regarding the object restoration, their object becomes the subject of the restoration process, which he is always informed of in advance and which he agreed to. The customer is entirely responsible for further use and manipulation of the object.

Note:

There is a difference between the term “conservation” and “restoration” in general. Although I mainly use the term conservation as a key term here on my website, my services include restoration work as well.

“I always treat the object of the past with my deepest respect.”
