Restoring Mixed Material Art Objects
Restoring Mixed Material Art Objects: Works of art created with multiple materials require knowledge of each material and how the materials relate to one another – chemically, mechanically and aesthetically. We research all these for each piece that comes to us to determine its appropriate treatment.
