RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION OF PAINTINGS: Each painting is an
individual work requiring specialised care and consideration when cleaning
and conserving. The studio was established in 1976 to clean and conserve
paintings and paintwork in oil, tempera and acrylic, on canvas, panel and
wood structures to the highest standards of conservation for private clients,
historic houses, churches, museums and galleries. With photographs and
detailed reports prepared during the work, ensuring that ethical guidelines
are recorded at every stage. X-ray, infrared, ultra-violet and chemical analyses
are used to aid examination. However, there is generally no charge for initial
examinations or quotations. With full professional indemnity insurance, the
practice covers the UK and Europe. Francis Downing also works as a forensic
conservator and investigator for police, auctioneers and insurance companies.
Over 36 years experience of art conservation, research and recovery. See also:
