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.

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.

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 have a oil painting that I purchased three years ago and it had issues that I did not see fully…read morewhen I bought it. The paint has been chipping off a bit since then, and I finally bit the bullet to find someone to repair it. I found David here on Yelp. I liked that others wrote reviews on his repair work. He is a master at his craft, so don't expect it to be done in a hurry as quality work takes time. There were chips in the upper middle of the painting and tiny chips missing in quite a bit of other spots all over the entire piece. He was able to reduce a small fraction of the warping (on the left side) and he conditioned it and repaired the chips in the sky and other smaller paint chipped areas. I am very satisfied with the end result of the repair he made on this 1950's original oil painting of Laguna Beach, CA. Now I can proudly hang it on my wall! Thank you David, you're the best.

If Humpty Dumpty had met this guy, he'd still be in one piece lol…read more David is a restoration wizard! His little workshop looks like something out of a storybook - a flower-covered cottage where broken things go to be reborn. My most treasured possession, an ostrich egg my late father brought home from Africa when I was a kid, was shattered into what felt like a billion pieces during my recent move. I thought it was gone forever. I was a devastated wreck on the pavement in front of all my neighbors. But David, with the steady hands of an artist and the heart of a healer, pieced it back together so flawlessly, you'd never know it had been broken. If you have something priceless - whether it's an heirloom, a keepsake or a fragment of your past - don't give up on it. Bring it here. He doesn't fix objects; he brings them back to life and restores memories. I'll never be able to thank him enough.

Thank you for the final save. Like most photos before this digital era, I have one copy of a…read morepicture of my mother and me when I was a child. No negatives, no photographer or digital file to reference. And my mother presented this photo to me in the same frame it has been in since the 1980s. Unfortunately, time wore on this picture so much that there were stains; the photo was damp and stuck to the glass and began to rip. I worked with Jason to restore this image. He was able to scan the image through the glass, correct the lighting, and have quite a few issues with the photo. With a whole lot of patience, the picture was restored. And now we have a digital copy! He is wonderful. I truly appreciate his dedication to his work. He honors the images as if they were his own. He was absolutely amazing. Thank you, Jason!

He was incredibly professional, honest, and thoughtful. He took the time to review photos, ask questions, and even conducted his own research on the artist and market value - this totally surprised me in the best way possible. I can tell Chris is an upstanding and deeply considerate professional. His expert advice truly put my mind at ease. For now, I'm pausing on the restoration, but I'm looking into refreshing the framing per his suggestion. He even recommended a framing specialist he trusts nearby where I live, which was such a sweet surprise. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable who leads with such grounded transparency, especially when art can be so emotional. Chris really cares about the time and effort involved for everyone. There are a lot of great reviews on here, but I wanted to really speak to his KINDNESS just from our initial interactions. I'll definitely be returning to him when I'm ready to move forward with conservation!
