Cleaning smoke damage from artwork, other framed items and collectibles is a service we routinely take care of. Paintings are often darkened by discolored varnish too. This gorgeous tonalist vintage painting, about 1920, by Granville Redmond re-emerges from the darkness to its former glory. It glowed after we cleaned it and put the conservation grade varnish layers of it.

I saw this painting when it was dirty. Wow! I think it was one of the dirtiest paintings I’ve ever seen.

This was a gem of a painting… but I wish it was 30 x 40!

I’ll bet you guys have worked on lots of Granville Redmonds over the years. Nice job as always When I see your label on the back of a painting I know its been in good hands.

This video just made my day Mr. Hankins. I’ve got a similar problem with my own painting that was just handed down to me. It looks awful, like the one in your video! I’m glad it can be restored.
