Preventive Conservation
The best restoration is the one never needed. Preventive care protects private and institutional collections through survey, guidance, and well-judged housekeeping.
Our approach
Light, humidity, temperature, and handling do more cumulative damage than any single accident — and all of them can be managed.
Collections are surveyed work by work, condition documented, and prioritised recommendations provided: what needs treatment now, what should be monitored, and how to store and display each piece so it ages as slowly as possible.
