Frequently Asked Questions

  • Where can I have a painting or artwork restored in Geneva?

    Atelier Héritier welcomes private individuals, galleries and institutions in Geneva by appointment. We specialise in the conservation and restoration of old and modern paintings, as well as contemporary artworks.

  • What painting and canvas restoration services do you offer?

    We treat deterioration of the paint layer (lifting, flaking and loss of adhesion), structural issues (torn canvases and canvases requiring structural treatment), as well as yellowed varnishes that need to be removed or gradually thinned, and surface cleaning of paint layers.

  • How do you analyse works of art?

    Before any intervention, our workshop can use advanced technologies (hyperspectral imaging, FORS, raking light and UV) and, upon request, provide a non-invasive condition report.

    Our investigative tools enable us to ensure ethical and reversible restoration treatments.
