Happy Clients
Sarah did the most beautiful job restoring my great grandmother’s oil painting. I trusted her completely with our family heirloom.
The workmanship was outstanding and it was turned around quickly and at a reasonable cost.
Thank you Sarah! 🙂
We are all absolutely delighted with the superb work you did in restoring this family treasure – no-one more than me who watched it mouldering away for over 60 years.
I’m confident that it will survive another ninety years looking as fresh as it did when it left your hands. Congratulations and thank you.
OMG. I was thrilled with the restoration of my two rather large paintings that had decided to fall on top of each other – the top one dislodging the painting underneath it. One caught the corner of the TV leaving a gash, the other fell on the finial of a standing lamp leaving a deep hole.
Sarah came highly recommended by an antique auctioneer friend AND for good reason You would not know that any damage had ever occurred. I had to look at the back of the paintings to see where the damage had been. SO GOOD and am extremely appreciative of Sarah’s fine focus and care in restoring what I thought was impossible to ever make it original again THANK YOU Sarah MUCH appreciation
