"The Best of Everything" Best All-Around Conservators


"Artisans, Restoration, and Framing - Member of the American Institute for Conservation, the staff is composed of professional conservators who replace missing feet on silver gallery trays, repair fragile mother-of-pearl lace fans, reproduce antique drawer pulls, restore porcelain heads, and replace missing pinkies on dolls. They serve museums, galleries, art dealers, professional designers, and private collectors, but they’ll also bring back to life your favorite "heirloom," even if it’s a broken clay platypus molded by your 6-year-old. They fix broken or chipped Meissen, Boehm, and Lladro; reconstruct shattered crystal; remove chips; re-plate gold and nickel; and solder, re-patinate, and repair malachite, cloisonné, jade, tortoise, and ivory. Put Humpty-Dumpty together again? Probably."

"Restoring Antiquity"

"More than that though, "conservation is always trying to stay with the original, retain as much of that as possible and do methods of [repair] that are reversible," says Becky Chapman, manager of Art Restorations, Inc. a Dallas business that resuscitate goods from wooden artifacts to crystal chandeliers, from Boulle and lacquer ware to oil paintings and semiprecious stones."

"Reversibility" means using only ingredients that can be dissolved and processes that can be undone without harm to the underlying original."
