Removing discolored varnish from the oil panting

I can safely remove layers of discolored varnish, linseed oil, smoke, dirt, glue, old overpaint from the surface of paintings without disturbing the original layer.

I have extensive experience in working with:
~ American and European 18-20th century oil paintings, prints.
~ Frames of Antiquity.
~ Porcelain and ceramic figurines.
~ All major lines of antique porcelain such as Meissen, Drezden, Royal Vienna, Capodimonte, Old Paris, Sevres, Limoges, Bisque ,CapodiMonte , Chinese Export , Dresden, Flow Blue, Hummel, Limoge , Majolica, McCoy, Meissen, Nippon, Roseville, Royal Vienna, Satsuma, Sevres, Stafford-Shire , Wedgewood ,Weller, French Bisque, German Bisque
Imari, Chelsea, Wedgwood, Staffordshire, Bellek.
~ Popular collectible makessuch as Lladro, Hummel, Coebel, Royal Doulton, Boehm, Cybis.
~ Antique bisque, china, papier-mache dolls.
~ Miniature mosaics,Handel glass shades, Russian icons.
~ Jade or bone carvings, shell cameos.
~ Antique clock and clock faces.
~ Marble and alabaster sculptures.

What TO DO and NOT TO DO when something gets broken

1. Most importantly, Save ALL the pieces. A lost piece can be reconstructed but this is more difficult and costly than simple assembly. Do everything possible to locate all the pieces. If something has broken in shipment look in the box or container very carefully. 2. Do NOT glue it yourself. Some glues are impossible to remove and make re-repair difficult .Different materials require different mending materials. To remove and redo repairs adds to the time and difficulty of repair.
3. Contact me to discuss the repair. In the case of rare and expensive items with few, clean breaks, repairs reclaim much of the value of the item. For family heirlooms and sentimental items it is the owners decision. I understand that sentimental value can make any item priceless and I look forward to working with you and preserving your family heirlooms to be shared for generations to come.
