Due to the small size of miniatures, often viewed under a magnifying lens, our conservators work to ensure only the smallest amount of retouching is used during the restoration process. This museum-level approach to miniature conservation will ensure that there is no alteration to the important original details of the portrait and its value as a historic piece.
In the case of devastating damage to personally important miniatures, such as family heirlooms or child portraits, our talented team can recreate missing areas or full portraits to complete a set. This may be required if a miniature has been completely lost following an accident, fire or flood.
Concave glass for miniatures
Frames for miniatures may face damage over time, putting the artwork at risk of deterioration due to loss of glass. Our team can provide bespoke framing for miniatures of all shapes and sizes, including the replacement of concave glass when the original piece is missing, heavily scratched or broken.
Our expert framing team can also provide bespoke mounting for miniature artworks including new velvet backing for cases and custom display options.
