Both Connie and Robin are extremely knowledgeable about their art. I brought them a broken,…read moreintricately crafted glass dining room hutch window. One of the interior panes was broken. They extracted the glass from the frame and dismantled the window frame by frame until they got to the broken pane of glass. When I picked up the repaired hutch window, I could not even tell where the repair had been done. The repaired section and all the intricate metal framing and solder looked aged perfectly to the remainder of the window. They are artists and really nice people.

We had a great experience when Helios Art Glass recently helped us out. A vintage stained glass…read morelamp that had been in the family forever needed structural repair on the leading in the shade. The first stained glass studio I talked to gave me a description of the extensive work he'd need to do, a cost estimate and an ETA on how long it would take, and they all seemed crazy. So we had doubts we'd be able to get the issue fixed. Then I contacted Helios and had a completely different result. They were so friendly and so taken with our old lamp. They immediately knew what to do to mend and strengthen the glass shade, having fixed similar issues with many vintage lamps. The price quoted was less than a quarter of the first cost estimate we got, and the time estimate was only a week or two. Their proposed solution was so sensible we knew we were in good hands. That impression was only strengthened by Connie's gorgeous personal stained glass art on display in their workshop. With those examples of the talent in play, I knew the result would look great. And it looked even better than expected. When we picked up our fixed lampshade right on schedule, the repairs were invisible and the previously weakened structure was now rock solid. The whole process was so pleasant, the results were impeccable and now our beloved old lamp is assembled and shining again for the first time in decades. I'd trust these folks with any stained glass project you brought to them.

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.

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.

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.

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 was recommended to Farber Art Services from my wonderful framer Robb Domingues, Frames on Third…read morewho I trust. Berley contacted me right away, understood the kind of art I have (eclectic and some very heavy) and the mixed concrete and sheet rock building I live in. I was concerned that they couldn't handle the 30+ art pieces I had in the time allotted but Michael and Berley were such pros that they got the heavy pieces up together and then Michael just did a great job, hanging the art, discussing location and sometimes helping to rearrange an awkward piece. In my 50+ years of remodeling and moving I've run into many contractors workers who thought they knew it all and were not respectful. As a woman who knows what she wants doing a project with contractors you had to fight your way through sours you on the product. Michael and Berley are thorough professionals and they don't come with an attitude even though they are truly experts at their craft and really know high art. I had so much fun working with them that I was sorry when they left. It makes looking at all my art so much more enjoyable knowing how collaborative and fun the project was. I highly recommend them on any size project of any complexity and quality.

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 love this company! Conrad came out to install a set of ceramic flowers on one of my condo walls…read more He did a wonderful job with that, then volunteered a bunch of design ideas to fill out my space in creative ways. He is so funny and thorough and thoughtful in his suggestions. He really cares, and it shows. Conrad even had an idea for a plant ledge near a window so I could bring more plants in, since the more obvious spaces for plants in my condo don't have enoug light. He suggested I organize a handful of plants on the ledge like a "boy band" (tall diva in back surrounded by a few others, each of whom should look unique). I followed his advice on the plant ledge and all his other suggestions, and now my condo is filled with lovely artwork and plants. I will definitely work with Art in Hand again! Katie
