Does your artwork require conservation?

Cleaning a painting is a delicate task that requires professional expertise. It is essential to consult a qualified conservator to avoid damaging the artwork.

Inappropriate methods found on the internet can cause irreversible damage to your painting, such as using:

  • soapy water,
  • cleaning solutions sold in hardware stores,
  • turpentine oil,
  • or potato slices, 

You must especially not use them!

An unprofessional intervention can worsen the damage, necessitating subsequent intervention by an art conservator to correct the damage, which can be costlier and more time-consuming than the initial conservation.

For an accurate assessment and personalised advice on cleaning your painting, do not hesitate to contact us or ask an estimate. Together, we will determine the best solutions to preserve the beauty and value of your artwork.
