Recently, we started providing this document to all our new client's to explain our conservation services and ensure our methods are clearly understood prior to completing the work. Artisans will always take the time to educate our clients on our field, and ensure every decision is made based on accurate and honest advice.

We work with each client to determine the best course of action for their piece considering value, history, damage, budgets, and other concerns. Below are examples of our recent or current work, as well as completed conservation documentaries. Overall there are several pages (links top and bottom to page numbers) that illustrate examples of our work.

Completed 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. Examples of our conservation documentaries are provided in the links below.
