Restoration and cleaning of paintings and icons
-
Restoration and cleaning of paintings is performed by professional restorers. The paintings cover a wide range of different media, materials and their supports (ie the painted surface made of fabric, paper, wood panel, board or other). Knowing the materials of each painting and its maintenance allows the correct practices for restoration and conservation. All components of the picture will react differently to the environment and will affect the work as a whole. These material components together with the care of the collections (also known as preventive conservation) will determine the longevity of the painting. Cleaning the surface can be very important for your painting. It can reveal hidden details that have been coated with nicotine staining, or revive faded colors where everyday contaminants have settled on a painting.
