                Gordon Ponsford - 
                  Sculpture Conservator | 
               
             
           
          The primary concern is that both indoor 
            and outdoor sculpture is protected. Our experienced conservators, 
            well versed in historic and contemporary materials and techniques, 
            thoroughly inspect the piece.  
 
A written estimate is provided outlining 
            the repair and conservation work needed to restore it, as well as 
          what is required to protect the piece from future wear or damage. 
             
            After the sculpture has been conserved, a maintenance program should 
            be established. We provide conservation maintenance in order to retain 
            value. Unfortunately, most people do not realize what a devastating 
            toll environmental conditions, vandalism, toxic pollution and neglect 
            can take on a sculpture. Therefore, all sculpture should have a continuing 
            maintenance program in order to preserve the original beauty and finish. 
             
            The maintenance program should include thorough records explaining 
            what materials have been applied to the sculpture and when they were 
            applied.  
 
A reputable conservator should be able to advise you of maintenance 
            procedures and provide you with the proper records. 
             
            Our knowledge and experience enables us to provide expert and 
            cost-effective restoration services regardless of the size or location 
            of  
a project. We will advise a client an how to retain beauty and 
            value,  
and how to develop a complete sculpture conservation program.
