ART RESTORERS

There are many skilled craftsmen working in the field of art restoration, and there will almost certainly be one available to you who is not located too far away.

As with all tradesmen, it can be difficult to find a good one, of course. Don't just engage any restorer you find and hope for the best. Do a little research to find a good one, and your efforts should pay off handsomely.

Maybe you have a friend or colleague who has had an painting or picture restored who can pass on the name of their restorer to you.

Maybe your local art shop can recommend someone to you.

Visit a few restorers to discuss your restoration job before handing over your art to be restored, and inspect some examples of their work.

Most restorers are good artists in their own right, so bear this in mind if you are tempted to do some amateur retouching yourself. You will never match the quality of restoration that a professional restorer can achieve.

There are a number of professional associations and organisations which you can contact to find a good restorer. Some of them are listed on our links page, and you should be able to find more by using your favourite search engine.

Please remember that ArtRestoration.Co are unable to recommend a restorer to you, or answer specific enquiries about art restoration.
