QW CONSERVATION

ESTABLISHED 1998

Specialising in the conservation and restoration of European and Oriental ceramics, glass and related materials from antiquity to the present day.

Working in collaboration with trade, museums, collectors and private clients.

All work in the studio is carried out to an exceptionally high standard using the finest materials coupled with the latest conservation techniques.

No job is considered too small or too large. There are a wide range of restoration options available to you, from cleaning and basic repairs to highly complex reconstruction projects.

From 'museum-type' repairs to restoration invisible to the naked eye, I will find the solution that works best for you.

The studio is well equipped and insured with excellent security.

Collection and delivery can be arranged from central London and Birmingham.
