" I believe that quality education is the key to proper conservation and restoration practices. My company will conserve, repair, or restore your piece in accordance with the guidelines of the AIC (American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works). We proudly conserve, repair, or restore artifacts and furniture, using techniques and training that have taken years to acquire. "
