Archival Reproductions

High resolution photography, scanning and printing on a specially selected range of acid-free, archival quality papers to make facsimiles of documents, photographs and artworks

Artworks Conservation has selected a range of acid-free, museum quality, archival inkjet papers that can be used to print high-quality, convincing reproductions of artworks, from watercolours to etchings, using the giclée printing technique. This way, a treasured artwork, such as a historic portrait, can be reproduced to share with other family members.

It is also possible to create archival facsimiles of original documents, such as letters, photographs, manuscripts and maps that can be used for longer term display or handling. High quality, digital photographic reproductions, up to and beyond A0 in size, can be arranged.

Using this service provides the client with the confidence that precious or fragile artworks and archives will be handled by a conservator throughout the process. We can advise on whether scanning or photography is most suitable as a means of copying the image and combine it with mounting and framing.

What Our Clients Say

I am exceedingly pleased with the work you did.

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

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.

The best cup of tea I’ve ever had in my life

Lancashire art courier

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

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.

House manager, National Trust

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.

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

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

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

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.
