Damaged Art? Antiques? Call SF Art Conservation today!!! Our…read moreart gallery was in the middle of the 2017 Fires in Sonoma County. Most pieces had severe smoke damage including antiques that were in pretty bad shape. The level of professionalism at SF Art Conservation put us at ease. Cleaning and preparing all of our pieces was challenging and involved. This very large job came in on time and on budget. Our insurance company was also hard to deal with but the patience and impressive work ethic that SF Art Conservation has made all the difference.

I had damaged my deity and was besides myself until a friend/antique dealer told me to take it to…read moreSF Art Conservation and I am glad I did. This is a wonderful place with a warm and friendly staff (I was working with Rowan) who made me feel confident to leave my art piece in their care. They described, in detail, how they were going to repair and conserve the piece, as well as how much it was going to cost up front (no surprises). They also showed me art pieces they were currently working on; they had some amazing art in their workshop! If you have an art piece that needs attention, I would truly recommend SF Art Conservation. Many thanks to Rowan and staff for their wonderful and professional help! I look forward to bringing other artwork (which needs conservation) to them in the future.

I found Giorgio when I opened a yelp project ticket, hoping that I would find someone out there who…read morecould help me restore a simple garden bench that is very special to me. The bench was purchased by my mother, probably around 40 years ago, and was in her huge backyard and garden. She had 5 benches, and 5 kids, and this one was mine after she passed in 2011. Over the years I have had it refinished, but time took a toll on the structure of it. Replacing it with a new bench did not seem satisfying- how could I discard this precious (to me) piece of history that contained so many memories of my mother and her beautiful yard? Giorgio came out and took a look, (remember he is a fine antique restorer) and he said he would like to take on the project. The price was more than I thought it would be, (way more than a new bench), but he explained that he would have to replace all of the wood, all of the hardware and restabilize the bench. It would take approximately 1 month, taking it to his studio. I agreed. He took the bench away in pieces. The old bench was oak, and he we went over options for replacement and settled on heat treated ash, an enduring high-quality choice that would have a similar look to the original oak. Giorgio delivered the bench back to my San Francisco yard. I was so happy! The quality craftsmanship of Giorgio Di Costanzo filled that bench with the magic of my mother's memory to be enjoyed for years to come.

I have been retaining the services of fine art frame shops for the past 30+ years. I've used shops from Seattle, Los Angeles and now the San Francisco Bay Area. I was blown away when I picked up this piece. In actuality, this is the 4th piece I've had Sterling frame for me, and all of them framed to the highest standards of fine art framing. You 100% get what you pay for with this shop. I don't want to see complaints from folks who don't understand what these guys do. Museum's get it as do some of the area's top private collectors. Thank you, Laura, for your assistance again in seeing things through flawlessly. I currently have 3+ pieces in the pipeline to bring in. It goes without saying, I highly recommend Sterling Art Services. (the pics I've attached do not do this piece justice).

No negatives, no photographer or digital file to reference. And my mother presented this photo to me in the same frame it has been in since the 1980s.

He was able to scan the image through the glass, correct the lighting, and have quite a few issues with the photo. With a whole lot of patience, the picture was restored.
