CONSERVATION OF ART IN ARCHITECTURAL SETTINGS

Authentic original decorative finishes and artwork in historic buildings connects us with the minds and hands of the craftsmen and artists of the past. The process of preserving them for the future is called conservation. This process has been a central theme of EverGreene Painting Studios’ award-winning restorations of landmarks across the United States.
Formally trained conservators evaluate artwork and decorative finishes within the tenets of conservation theory and professional standards and ethics. Treatment plans are developed after thorough examination, documentation and technical analysis. Art-historical research and current environmental conditions inform decisions.
EverGreene’s cross-disciplinary expertise and years of research in the materials, techniques and history of the decorative arts enriches our conservation services:

• Practical solutions to site-specific problems
• Exceptional hands-on experience
• Single-source responsibility for conservation, restoration and new work
• A company that understands architecture and construction, meeting schedules and working within budgets
