For the Conservation of Fine Paintings

As paintings age, they undergo various changes in appearance.  Grimy soot accumulates on the surface. Paint breaks up into a network of cracks.  Varnish becomes yellow.    The canvas may sag or become detached from the stretcher.  Temperature and humidity fluctuations cause paint to lift and flake off.  Also, improper storage or transportation accidents can cause dents, bulges, holes and tears.

Happily, most paintings can be restored, even those that appear to be beyond help.  At Atlanta Art Restoration, time worn paintings are brought back to life using a mix of traditional and modern restoration techniques.  All methods and materials used comply with the conservation industry standard of reversibility.
