Tim Dolby is a leading specialist in restoring watercolour paintings and other artworks on paper.
Watercolours, etchings, engravings, pastels and pencil drawings are often created on fragile paper, which is susceptible to tears, punctures, heavy foxing (rusty brown spots), mould, discolouration and insect damage.
A spillage, moist air, water damage, mould or acid leeching from the mount can stain and discolour an artwork on paper. With extreme delicacy and an expert eye for colour balance, your work of art can be carefully “cleaned”, treated and returned to the original colour of the paper, de-acified without harming the actual artwork.
