Insurance Assessments & Disaster Relief
Being a California-based company, M Conservation understands the demand to care for your art collection after a catastrophic event such as a fire, earthquake, or water event. We can work directly with your insurance provider to assess the extent of damage to your collection and provide conservation treatment. Please get in touch for more information about the assessment service.
Collection Care
Preventative care is the cornerstone to making sure your collection is happy and healthy. M Conservation can provide cataloging services, storage & display suggestions, custom storage boxes, sleeves, and more.
Conservation Treatment
Conservation treatments refer to actions that halt and prevent further degradation from occurring to the piece. Conservation treatments range from de-acidification and stain mitigation to removing old hinges or tape to prevent further staining or removing a piece from an acidic substrate. Please contact us for further details pertaining to your specific piece.
Restoration Treatment
M Conservation strives to maintain the original integrity of the piece. Restoration treatments performed aid in aesthetically enhancing the piece and can include tear repairs, infills and pulping, mitigation of handling damage, image reintegration and more.
