Condition Reports
Clear, jargon-free digital condition reports tailored to each client’s brief. We can provide reports at short notice, and our expert, objective assessments enable informed decisions prior to sale, acquisition, treatment, and insurance claims.
We are pleased to offer remote condition checking, including via virtual courier technology, for clients unable to travel and/or under Covid-19 restrictions.
Treatments
From meticulous treatments such as cleaning, retouching, consolidation and tear mending, to large-scale structural work such as re-stretching and rolling. From single objects to multi-artwork consignments.
We respond rapidly to urgent situations, minimising disruption, risk and loss for clients. If an artwork or project is outside our expertise we will recommend trusted specialists from our international network.
