Preventive Conservation Services for Artists & Collectors
-
Preservation starts with knowing what you have. Whether it's fine art, historic objects, or family heirlooms, an up-to-date inventory is the foundation of good stewardship. We work with private collectors to document their collections clearly and professionally—helping protect what matters most.

A Conservation Assessment provides a professional evaluation of your artwork’s condition and care needs. Each piece is examined for structural stability, surface condition, and the quality of its framing or storage materials. You’ll receive clear, practical recommendations to help protect your collection, prioritize next steps, and plan for long-term care—whether you own a few works or a growing collection.
This service is ideal for collectors preparing for moves, loans, or digitization; documenting condition for insurance; improving storage or framing; or evaluating artwork after an incident such as water or smoke exposure.

Dust can quietly damage your collection. It attracts pests, fosters mold, and becomes acidic over time. Safe cleaning is essential—but improper dusting can do more harm than good. We use museum-quality tools and techniques to care for private collections in homes, studios, and offices—protecting what matters most.

Floods and leaks can be devastating—especially when treasured collections are at risk. With over a decade of museum emergency response experience, we help private collectors respond quickly and effectively. From documentation to triage, we focus on preventing mold and maximizing the chance to salvage your objects.
