Although most of our work throughout the past
30 years has been cleaning and restoring paintings for art
dealers, private collectors, and museums, we also have
considerable experience in the cleaning and restoration of
murals, picture frames and wooden objects which require
the highest level of skill and expertise. We are able
to provide condition surveys of museum collections for a
reasonable fee and encourage inquiries from museums with
maritime related collections. We have researched, appraised
and restored collections of marine art from such prominent
collections as the Allen Forbes Collection which is owned by
State Street Corporation in Boston. Local clients for whom we
have done conservation work include the John F. Kennedy
Presidential Library and Museum, The Harvard Club of Boston,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the City of Boston
(Fanueil Hall) and the City of Newport in Rhode Island.

| We are skilled
in the casting and carving of missing elements on
elaborate 18th and 19th century picture frames,
cleaning gold leaf surfaces, removing oxidized
paint layers covering original gilt surfaces, and
repairing broken joints and spandrels.

We have restored objects from the desk
and office of our late President, John F. Kennedy for
the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, and
especially enjoy restoring ship carvings, trade signs
and other objects of Americana. |
