How I Can Help You

1. Restoration & Conservation Consulting

Not sure if a piece can—or should—be restored? I’ll assess the condition, explain your best options, and outline an approach that preserves value and enhances longevity.

✅ Should I restore or leave as-is?
✅ What are the risks or benefits of restoration?
✅ How will restoration impact its market value?
✅ What’s the estimated cost and timeline?

Ideal for collectors, galleries, and dealers seeking expert insights before making restoration decisions.

2. Condition Reports & Damage Assessment

I provide detailed condition reports that document a piece’s current state, including inspection dates, images, and notes on any structural or cosmetic issues. These reports help you make informed decisions on restoration, insurance claims, or acquisitions.

✅ Identify damage causes and structural integrity
✅ Determine best restoration approach
✅ Ensure preservation of value for resale or insurance

Ideal for collectors, galleries, insurers, and auction buyers who need a professional evaluation before committing to restoration.

3. Purchase & Pre-Acquisition Advice

Before you invest in a collectible design piece, I provide expert insight on its condition and restoration potential, ensuring you make an informed purchase.

📌 Learn whether a piece requires restoration before display or resale
📌 Understand repair costs upfront
📌 Gain insights on material quality, craftsmanship, and longevity

Designed for private collectors, interior designers, and galleries looking to invest wisely.

4. Consulting for Designers & Architects

I help interior designers, architects, and finishing crews troubleshoot materials, coatings, and finishes to ensure precise results.

✅ Furniture or millwork that won’t match
✅ A finishing crew struggling with execution
✅ A custom finish requiring expert guidance

I also formulate custom products and provide:

✅ Tailored finishing solutions
✅ Step-by-step tutorial videos
✅ Hands-on guidance for flawless results

Ideal for architects, designers, and contractors needing expert finishing solutions.
