Conservation Treatments
treatment of objects and building elements is a core component of our practice.
JBC has experience treating a wide range of materials of all sorts of shapes and sizes. Treatments are performed by our trained conservators in accordance with professional ethics and guidelines. Treatments typically begin with a conditions assessment. Conservators then work with the client to develop a treatment plan that meets the client’s needs. Treatments range from restoring objects to their original condition to stabilizing them to prevent further deterioration. In all of our treatment designs, we aim to provide for long-term maintenance, reversibility and, when appropriate, re-treatment. At the conclusion of a project, we present our clients with detailed treatment reports that document the means and methods used for the benefit of future generations.
