Art Restoration Services are available through Frame-ables for works of art on paper or canvas. A piece of art can be examined by the staff at Frame-ables to determine if restoration is necessary. Expert art restoration specialists can restore the art as close to its original appearance as possible. 

Acid damage is the most typical type of damage to a work of art on paper. Acid burns and foxing (small specks of acid burn) are caused by the art being subjected to cardboard backings and paper mats, both highly acidic products. Restoration can help reverse the damage.
Recent restoration projects include:
Henri Matisse, John James Audubon, Thibault Poissant, John Singer Sargent, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Henri Fantin-Latour, Marc Chagall, Francisco de Goya
