Conservation Documentaries


Artisans offers a unique service on restoration services for true antiques, we provide a photo illustrated conservation documentary describing the original condition of the piece in detail, a conservation plan, and condition after restoration. This documentary also includes an insurance value appraisal to provide a basis for loss protection insurance.

Documentation is critical to any procedure performed on antiques, as it helps to maintain the history of the pieces. Each time that work is completed on a piece, the piece is altered, it is different than the condition the restorer found it. Understanding and knowing the reasons why, the history behind, and other details on the restoration work ensure that the most antique value is preserved. Artisans provides these conservation documentaries in the true spirit of history. Please note, we will only provide these detailed documents on true antiques as they are very time consuming to produce.

Examples of our conservation documentaries are provided in the following documents.
