Gordon Ponsford -
Sculpture Conservator |
The primary concern is that both indoor
and outdoor sculpture is protected. Our experienced conservators,
well versed in historic and contemporary materials and techniques,
thoroughly inspect the piece.
A written estimate is provided outlining
the repair and conservation work needed to restore it, as well as
what is required to protect the piece from future wear or damage.
After the sculpture has been conserved, a maintenance program should
be established. We provide conservation maintenance in order to retain
value. Unfortunately, most people do not realize what a devastating
toll environmental conditions, vandalism, toxic pollution and neglect
can take on a sculpture. Therefore, all sculpture should have a continuing
maintenance program in order to preserve the original beauty and finish.
The maintenance program should include thorough records explaining
what materials have been applied to the sculpture and when they were
applied.
A reputable conservator should be able to advise you of maintenance
procedures and provide you with the proper records.
Our knowledge and experience enables us to provide expert and
cost-effective restoration services regardless of the size or location
of
a project. We will advise a client an how to retain beauty and
value,
and how to develop a complete sculpture conservation program.
