Our Process

At Grashe Fine Arts Restorers, we take a personalized and comprehensive approach in every conservation project we undertake. Our process is a harmonious blend of art and science, ensuring each piece receives the respect and care it deserves.

Our engagement begins with an initial consultation where we assess the artwork's condition and discuss its history and significance with the owner. This conversation allows us to fully appreciate and plan our approach to the conservation work at hand. Following this, we conduct a thorough analysis using non-invasive diagnostic tools, compiling all findings into a comprehensive conservation plan that outlines proposed methods and materials.

Once a plan is agreed upon, we commence with the meticulous conservation work. Each step, from cleaning to retouching, is executed by experienced professionals using techniques that are both time-honored and technologically advanced. We remain transparent throughout the process, providing periodic updates and seeking approval for any necessary adjustments.

Upon completion, we offer aftercare guidelines and establish a comprehensive record of all interventions made. This documentation not only serves as a historical account of the artwork's conservation journey but also aids future conservators in understanding its treatment history.
