I purchased a painting that was shipped from France and arrived in, well, not the best condition…read more Not only did this team ensure there was no mold on the canvas (I'm sensitive to it) but they saw that someone had done a bad job touching up bits of the painting and some pieces of paint were missing entirely. They restored it completely and gorgeously. They then surprised me with a lengthy report about the process with pictures of the work along the way. I was thoroughly impressed. I think we've all grown accustomed to shoddy service in so many realms. Not here. Last week when I was about to import another piece but had questions about it from afar, they were happy to look at it and make recommendations, assured me that it looked in good quality but was surely on paper instead of canvas. The artist is now painting us a new one on canvas. We're thrilled! I can't recommend these guys enough for restoration or even just pre purchase consulting, ensuring you've got the right matting ... anything, and probably more.

I have become a multiple repeat customer of Julie's and she continues to deliver excellent results…read more I have brought multiple prints to her for restoration. The first was a 50 year old screenprint that suffered from considerable foxing which she removed flawlessly from within the ink. The second was a vintage screenprint that was totally destroyed in shipping. The box was crushed leaving severe creases in multiple places and she magically flattened it and drastically reduced the creases so that they are not visible without close examination. Since then she has removed water and mildew stains from multiple prints. Julie is a gem in San Francisco and we're lucky to have her.

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 had purchased a 19th century Dutch painting on a wood panel and framed in an ornate frame with a…read morelinen liner. I had spotted it in Puerto Rico and since I'm of Dutch heritage it resonated with me and I had to have it. When I finally purchased it months later and had it shipped to me, looking at it closely, I realized it was in poor shape. The lining was mildewed, frame had some chips in it and the overall painting was dirty (as one might expect since it was old). I wanted to have it cleaned so I did some research and came upon Sysphere Restoration. Sy was very personable, explaining the process of what needed to be done. I was balking at the cost but since I really liked the painting I decided to splurge on it. The end result was amazing. The scene was so much brighter and clean looking, the linen renewed and the frame refurbished. Sy breathed new life into it. I was going to hang it in some inconspicuous corner but now, I feel it would do it an injustice to the painting and Sy's hard work and talent.

For an art collector, it is a rare stroke of luck to have a world class art conservator and…read morerestorer living nearby. This gives me the opportunity to discuss the work in person, and avoid costly and risky shipping. Mikhail's credentials are top notch, his expertise spans Russian, European, American art. Just a few things Mikhail helped me restore to their original glory: - An early 19c Russian orthodox icon, which had significant losses of paint and an almost opaque darkened varnish layer that had to be removed. - A 17c painting, almost destroyed by time, countless restorations, termites and careless shipping. - A few 19c European paintings whose varnish got too dark with time. After the restoration, the painter's signature became legible, so many new details were uncovered! Every restored item became the centerpiece of my collection. The work has been performed with the utmost care and precision, every part of the existing artwork carefully preserved. Finally, I'd like to note that Mikhail was always open about the outcome of the work, giving his honest opinion on whether the hours and cost spent restoring an item were worth the effort.

For years, we had watched as thin white lines appeared in the painting, caused by the canvas stretcher bars behind the canvas. After procrastinating for years and believing that we had no option to repair this damage, we contacted several art restorers from yelp*. Mikhail made the best impression and we are so grateful for his skill. We live in Marin County; and Mikhail picked-up our painting from our home, restored it to better than new condition in his studio, delivered it back to us, re-framed and helped to re-hang it in our home. We could not be more satisfied. Worth the time and every penny. Thank you, Mikhail!
