Analysis & Documentation
Sound treatment rests on sound evidence. Scientific examination reveals what the eye cannot — and produces the documentation collectors, insurers, and institutions rely on.
Our approach
X-ray fluorescence (XRF), ultraviolet and infrared examination, and microscopy identify materials, reveal earlier restoration, and inform every treatment decision before work begins.
Each examination is recorded in a structured condition report — construction, condition, prior intervention, and recommendations — suitable for insurance, appraisal, and acquisition.

- Condition assessment
- XRF material analysis
