Since 1979 my career has been committed to preserving the art and historic artifacts of our cultural heritage for future generations.  We serve clients within the United States and beyond from our conservation and restoration laboratory located in the foothills of Piedmont North Carolina.  We specialize in wooden objects, furniture, polychrome objects and gilded objects.  Computer generated reports with photo documentation are available upon request (including digital formats).  We welcome your inquiry regarding our services.
