Conservation & Restoration

All replacement castings whether bronze, brass, stainless steel, or aluminum castings, are performed under strict guidelines. To complete your art restoration all replacement elements are performed by our staff certified welders. ART can conserve your bronze plaques, statues, metal rails, historic sculptures, metal or stone architectural elements, as well as lamp standards, sconces, doors and hardware.

What is a General Conservation Assessment Report?

A general conservation assessment report is a broad study of object conditions, conducting an on-site assessment of the art work. The report evaluates the conditions affecting your art and environment. Documentation is presented in written and photographic form. Recommended policies and procedures for treatment are presented in the report. Also included is a recommended maintenance and procedure report that can provide the blueprint for assisting in the care and raise awareness, with a long-range conservation plan.
