Oil painting restoration in the cotswolds.
At Layers, our small team of diligent conservators work efficiently to breathe new life into worn, torn, and discoloured oil paintings.
Based in Cheltenham, we offer a range of services, including collection/delivery, and aim to make the process as straightforward as possible. Via our collaboration with Brave Fine Art, we’ve handled hundreds of remarkable paintings over the years, from 16th-century panels through to 20th-century canvases.
Revive Your Old Treasures.
When you restore a painting, you bring a new sense of vitality to a lost treasure while also protecting it from further degradation.
Oil Painting Restoration
Every piece carries with it a set of unique characteristics, which can affect its condition and appearance over time. Our process begins with a series of tests, such as UV analysis, to gain further insight into the DNA of your painting.
Frame Restoration
Antique gilt frames are particularly prone to losses due to their fragile nature. Our frame restorer uses efficient techniques, such as plaster repair, to revitalise a frame while also retaining its character
