Period Furniture Conservation can help you keep the furniture and wooden objects in your care stable, historically faithful and esthetically presentable, whether you own them or have curatorial responsibility for them. There are several things we can do. Here's a sampling by service category: |
|
|
| Preventive Conservation and Collection Management |
|
|
|
| Assessment, Valuation and Testing Before you buy — or sell — your furniture or wooden object, you want to be certain that it is exactly what is advertised. While we do not "authenticate" objects, we frequently provide thorough technical examinations, detailing the materials and methods that were used in their creation as well as their present condition. We also provide scientific testing of coating surfaces, such as solvent solubility, cross-section analysis, microscopic wood identification analysis, x-ray fluorescence of furniture mounts, and ultraviolet light surface surveys. Our reports are always confidential to our clients. |
