Working with the Conservator

There is only so much that can be done over the phone; whenever possible diagnosis should be made in person. To set up an appointment, call (301) 741-3698. A preliminary examination can be done at the studio free of charge. The next step is usually an in-depth examination of the artwork in normal and raking light, reflected and ultraviolet light and a written condition report, a detailed treatment proposal, and a cost estimate.
