Restoration

Full conservation and restoration service based here in Pontefract.

Dysons Restoration can offer a full, professional restoration and conservation service for all artworks and frames. Whether it’s a quick clean and fresh varnish, or repairs to holes and tears, flaking paint, years of ingrained grime, or even damage from fire or environmental neglect; we can help.

All work is carried out to the same high standards strictly observing our core principles of conservation and restoration:

  • To subtly return the artwork to how the artist intended without losing the patina of age.
  • Where possible, halt any deterioration or further loss of the artwork or frame.
  • For repairs and corrections to be as non-invasive as possible and removable should the need arise.

Expert in the cleaning and repair of original artwork and frames.

Curation

Found, Studied, enjoyed and passed on.

My ever-growing collection of oddities and pieces of interest that I’ve had the pleasure to own, mixed in with the accumulated gallery portfolio stock of prints paintings and originals from the last 140 years of Dysons Arts Limited.

As a fine art restorer, all pieces I offer have been cleaned and repaired so their former glory has been found.

Whilst strictly observing originality, bumps and bruises scratches and chips may be present here and there but they are all part of the journey past.

“To own something unique, beautiful or just interesting for a while and to learn something new from it is a pleasure I will never tire of”.
