Restoration of Paintings and Frames
Old paintings, prints and frames themselves are works of art that require not ony skilled craftmanship and artistic sensibilities, but a specialized workshop and carefully chosen materials to properly restore your art and frame. There is no middle ground here!
Oyster Bay Frame has developed relationships over the years with the professionals who will restore your pieces using museum quality standards.
Cleaning your art helps to reveal its original expression and adds to its longevity.
Seriously damaged paintings CAN be restored. Even serious tears can be hidden by various lining techniques.
Paper art can also be restored with various backings and treatments. Like rust, tears become more difficult over time, so the sooner you bring in your work, the better and faster we can fix it! And just as a rug pad will extend the life of your oriental rugs, backing a painting or print with a canvas lining will preserve a brittle piece that otherwise may soon crack or tear.
