Code of Ethics: We respect the aesthetic, historic and spiritual significance and the physical integrity of the paintings entrusted to our care.
We will work to the highest standards regardless of any opinion of the market value of the painting.
- We apply the "principle of reversibility" in all treatments, avoiding the use of materials which cannot be undone if that should become desirable.
- We assert the right in all circumstances to refuse any restoration or procedure which we believe is contrary to the proper treatment or preservation of the painting.
- We have an informed respect for the cultural property, its unique character and significance, and the people or person who created it.
- We follow a “less is more” approach to restorations. We do only what we deem is absolutely necessary. The ultimate goal is to keep the painting as original as possible while preserving it for future generations.
All treatments are fully reversible and follow AIC Guidelines.
