Routine cleaning
and what it can reveal
This early 19th century portrait, "Mr. Nicholas Salisbury, a Liverpool Merchant" by J. Allen, was brought in for what appeared to be a straightforward cleaning and varnishing. But the work led to the removal of copious overpaint added during a previous restoration – and a surprise.

Stablization
This copy of John George Brown's 1882 "Blowing Bubbles" by G. Victcosky was thought to be a total loss but was made whole again by the full structural treatment of the lining process.
Another structural treatment
Craquelure, the lifting and cupping of the paint layer, was removed using the Dutch Method.
