When to Hire a Conservator
We’ve all seen the Antiques Roadshow appraiser explain how much more a piece would have been worth if it had not been refinished or unprofessionally repaired. Don’t attempt to restore, repair or clean any antique that is rare, valuable or important to you! A professional is always worth the cost.
