The above Colonial Artwork shows the R.Hand side after cleaning and the left is in as found condition.Summary is the artwork had been above a wood or coal fireplace /range for many years .
Cleaning took about 9 hrs the artwork is fully cleaned and in line for framing.I will show several more similar jobs so customers may have a feel for what can be done .
This type of work is what I had exposure to in St Petersburg .In reality it is not difficult …just a bit time consuming .
No harmful substances are used to clean oil paintings .
