RESTORATION & CONSERVATION

Conservation and Restoration Services

An artwork created with love and craftsmanship deserves to be treated with the utmost respect.
At Kerat Studio, we guarantee professional care and outstanding results with every restoration.

Through our expert treatments, we prevent deterioration of paintings on canvas, panel, paper, and other supports.
In addition to paintings, we also restore:

  • Icons,

  • Wall paintings,

  • Gilded frames and decorations,

  • Stone or plaster objects,

  • Wooden polychrome sculptures.

You can rely on us for any essential maintenance of artworks vulnerable to ageing and damage.
Our treatments include:

  • Careful cleaning of artworks,

  • Removal of old varnish layers and discolored retouches,

  • Impregnation and re-lining of canvas when needed,

  • Sealing holes and tears by reconnecting fibers,

  • Applying new stretcher bars or lining (doublure),

  • Repairing cracks in ornaments and filling missing areas,

  • Retouching and localised repairs, always respecting the original character of the artwork,

  • Restoration after fire or water damage,

  • Woodworm treatment and disinfection of mold.

Commissioned Artwork

If you would like a custom painting, we offer artworks made to commission — allowing you to choose both the subject and the format.
Through careful consultation between the artist and the client, a unique and personalized oil painting is created.

Frederik Cnockaert has made extensive studies of the painting techniques of the Old Masters.
His regular visits to major museums and his deep understanding of classical art are reflected in the quality and spirit of his own creations.

Preserve, honor, and revive your cherished artworks with Kerat Studio — where tradition meets expertise.
