The glue was beginning to fail, causing the canvas to delaminate. Additionally, there surface was covered in a heavy layer of grime and there were many losses on the frame. The restoration corrected all of these issues and now the painting shines! #artrestoration #artconservation #beforeandafter #paintingrestoration #paintingconservation #oilpainting #varnish #19thcenturyart

Instagram post 1901600324121484351_8887702979 #beforeandafter Before framing, this print required fills made of Japanese paper to fit into the missing areas. The fills were then toned to match the surrounding areas. Now the edge of the paper looks complete and the paper can be safely handled. #artrestoration #artconservation #paperrestoration #paperconservation #inprogress #wheatstarchpaste #japanesetissue #paperrepair #18thcenturyart

This paint was often used when the gilt surface was damaged, but in this case much of the original gilt surface was still in great condition. #artrestoration #artconservation #framerestoration #gilt #goldleaf #antiqueframe #beforeandafter
