Cleaning smoke damage from artwork, other framed items and collectibles is a service we routinely take care of. Paintings are often darkened by discolored varnish too. This gorgeous tonalist vintage painting, about 1920, by Granville Redmond re-emerges from the darkness to its former glory. It glowed after we cleaned it and put the conservation grade varnish layers of it.

This video just made my day Mr. Hankins. I’ve got a similar problem with my own painting and I’m glad it can be restored. I’m totally calling in for my art’s restoration.
This video just made my day Mr. Hankins. I’ve got a similar problem with my own painting that was just handed down to me. It looks awful, like the one in your video! I’m glad it can be restored.

I’ll bet you guys have worked on lots of Granville Redmonds over the years. Nice job as always When I see your label on the back of a painting I know its been in good hands.
Thanks Kristen. Yes, we have a lot of experience with all the early CA Impressionists and the trust of lots of collectors, dealers and auction houses. Thanks for you comments.
This was a gem of a painting… but I wish it was 30 x 40!
Loved it. Thanks

I saw this painting when it was dirty. Wow! I think it was one of the dirtiest paintings I’ve ever seen.
That’s what George Stern said!!
