Research, Analysis, Collection Surveys, Consulting
As part of our treatments, we develop and submit detailed condition and treatment reports that often contain additional analytical testing results for wood species identification, coating analysis, elemental analysis, and information relating to the history of the object and its production. We perform collection surveys describing the object in detail including its specific condition and recommendations for treatments, environmental conditions and handling and maintenance recommendations.
