Why are Oil Painting Condition Reports Useful?
Not only can an Oil Painting Condition Report help our restorers make the most accurate decisions, but all deterioration and damage is documented to get a fundamental understanding of a specific painting and its physical history. This evidence will not only serve as information on the materials of the piece but be an insight into the previous changes and damages the artwork may have faced over its lifetime.
When it comes to carrying out Oil Painting Condition Reports, there are a number of things we look at which includes; Identification & Descriptions, Conditions Assessment, Testing & Analysis, Treatment Proposal, Documentation of Processes, Cost Estimation & Final Conditions Assessment.
Originally established in Mayfair in 1928, J.H Cooke & Sons are one of the oldest and most reputable Oil Painting Condition Report providers in London. We are also members of the International Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works (IIC) & The British Association of Paintings Conservator-Restorers (BAPCR).
Our team can offer all types of Oil Painting Condition Reports for all artwork from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. After an initial assessment we are normally able to give clients an accurate forecast of treatment, cost and timescale.
If you are an overseas client, you will also benefit from IPR (Inward Processing Relief), which allows paintings to be sent to the UK without having to pay customs duty or taxes. Please call us for more information on this service.
J.H Cooke & Sons are now based at secure premises in South-West London, moments from the District Line and easily accessible by road from Heathrow and the centre of London. We collect and deliver work every Friday in Central London, and visits can be arranged more widely around Southern England.
So, if you are interested in obtaining an Oil Painting Conditions Report, then please get in touch today by calling 020 8940 5188. Alternatively, you can either send us an email or request a callback.
