Easter Conservation Services began in 2001 specializing in the conservation of frames, furniture, gilded objects, paintings, prints, as well as ceramic and glass objects.

 

Our standards and ethics are those of the American Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC). Conservation, unlike restoration, requires that all procedures are reversible. Our technicians are all trained in conservation methods and all have Fine Art degrees.

 

We are expert in matting and framing a wide array of art, objects, and textiles.
