What is Art Restoration?
Art restoration is a term often used but
sometimes misunderstood. The purpose of art
restoration is to ensure that artwork does not
fall foul to the ravages of time or external
environmental factors and if it does so, to
rectify these concerns before they become
irreversible.

The smoke released from tobacco products or
fireplaces, excessive sunlight or darkness and
spillages, including but not limited to water,
can all damage paintings. Unavoidable
deterioration will also arise through dust
particles found in the air. This makes periodic
art restoration essential. Thankfully for
collectors, Simon Gillespie offers premier
acrylic painting restoration in London.

element of art restoration in the UK. As

is the first step of art restoration, but not the
last or only. Repairing surface-level
imperfections is the first element of acrylic
painting restoration. The varnish originally used
by an artist will age over time, which leads to
the darkening and fading of formerly bright and
vibrant colours.

Repair of Picture Support Of course, art
restoration in the UK does not begin and end with
the painting itself. The support structure, such
as any wooden panels or even the canvas itself,
will require just as much attention. This, once

the Simon Gillespie team. By entrusting your art
to us, you will receive a full acrylic painting
restoration service from our London
gallery. Art restoration is an art form in
itself. Do not entrust your treasured collection
