Art Restoration Services
At Harnish & Company, we understand the sentimental and financial value of heirlooms and works of art that have endured the test of time. We collaborate closely with one of the premier art restoration companies, ensuring your cherished pieces receive the expert care they deserve.
Many treasured items, such as antique prints, photographs, or documents, suffer damage over the years due to improper storage, framing, or environmental exposure. For instance:
- Historic Documents or Letters: These may become creased, torn, yellowed, or embrittled by high acid content.
- Antique Prints: Improper framing decades ago can lead to foxing or dark stains transferred from materials like wooden backings.
- Photographs or Canvas Art: Water damage, such as wavy tide marks or discoloration, often leaves items looking irreparable.
Our restoration partners specialize in stabilizing and, in many cases, reversing damage to these invaluable pieces. Whether it’s removing stains, repairing tears, or preserving fragile materials, we ensure that your artwork or heirloom is restored to its original beauty as much as possible. You can feel confident that even the most delicate and damaged items are in skilled, capable hands. Let us help you breathe new life into your treasured pieces.
Let Harnish & Company guide you through the estate process with professionalism and compassion. Contact us today to learn how we can assist with your estate needs.
