Watercolour, Prints & Drawings

Do you have a watercolour that is foxed, a drawing that is damaged or a contemporary screenprint which needs conservation, mounting and framing?

Artworks Conservation carries out a full range of treatments for fine art on paper.

We help add value to works of art by repairing and conserving damaged looking watercolours, prints and drawings. Quite often people think their art may be too far gone to restore but often this is not the case.

As well as conserving works of art, we can recommend and fit a wide range of museum quality, acid-free mount boards and ultra-violet-filtering or low-reflect glazing products.

What Our Clients Say

I must express my delight in the job you have done on my map. It is back in position looking magnificent, and I look at it without that dread of what damp and gravity might have been doing to it over the years.

Private client

My colleagues and I are very impressed with the replica Charter. The document itself is an excellent reproduction, and the seal is very eye-catching. The mount and frame are also very
carefully made (I love how the document appears to float). We really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into it.

Archivist, Royal Hospital for Neuro – Disability

Firstly, can I just say what an absolutely superb job you have done with my railway signal diagram, it is nothing less than brilliant and worth every penny of the restoration costs in my opinion.

Private client

All three pictures arrived safely; thank you for packing them so well. We are bowled over with the restorations you have achieved for us.

Private client

You did an excellent job of reproducing a framed copy of our Royal Charter complete with a wax seal even though our wax seal was very damaged. It now hangs in our corporate box where it
looks very impressive to guests of the Hall.

former Archivist, Royal Albert Hall

I am exceedingly pleased with the work you did.

Private client

Many thanks, Richard. The watercolour has come out very well and as usual you have done an excellent job.

Private client

The artworks look great and I am really pleased with the end result. The lithograph looks brilliant. How did you manage to get the water damage out?

Private client

Quite frankly I am amazed at what you have achieved, given the derelict state of the poster when you took it in, and I consider the restoration work to be of the highest order.

Private client

A huge thanks from me – I’m really pleased with the results, and it was brilliant to be able to share the work with visitors. I know the team enjoyed working with you both, too.
