Our team of conservators specialise in the treatment of various types of materials, such as paper, paintings, textiles, organic materials, metal, stone and ceramics.

The proper care of all artefacts and artworks starts with preventive measures that aim to reduce the risk of damage and prolong their lifespan. However, when damage occurs, it is also critical to render the right interventive conservation treatment to ensure that they are not further damaged.
