Photograph Restoration

Paintings     Paper     Photographs     Frames    

With the arrival of the Photographic process in the 1800's the need for photographic restorers soon became apparent. Here at the PA Art Conservatory we provide a variety of restorative processes such as removal from acidic surfaces, cleaning, hole and tear mending, paper reconstruction, and pigment reapplication all of which are undetectable upon completion. Our Artists are trained to work with photographs from any era; the goal is not to change the original photograph but to instead increase its longetivity and return the photograph to its original state. Unlike other restorers our gallery works on the original photograph, and then returns the original photograph fully restored to our clients, but if the client would prefer it they can request a digital restoration. Our restorers are experts in their field, and so are well versed in the variety of photography as well as the materials and restorative solutions.

  • Tear and hole repair
