A thoughtful approach to restoration
Damage can arise from many causes—earthquakes, fire, moisture, or accidental mishandling. With expert restoration, many works can be returned to their best possible condition. We bring over 25 years’ experience and strong partnerships with trusted New Zealand conservators specialising across a variety of materials.

Framing with preservation in mind
Once restored, your item can be reframed using museum-quality materials, including UV-filtering glazing and acid-free boards. We carry one of New Zealand’s most extensive archival ranges, ensuring both protection and presentation are expertly balanced.

Preserving the original frame
Whenever possible, we restore and re-gild original frames, preserving their unique character and history. This approach is often more fitting and sustainable than replacement. Examples of our gilding work can be viewed on our [Gilding page].

Transparent process with care and advice
We believe in providing a transparent process, offering clear advice and thoughtful care before any work begins. Our clients, including private collectors and institutions, appreciate our professionalism, discretion, and commitment to quality.
