Cerulean Conservation offers quality conservation treatment to paintings and frames. Located in the city of Cleveland, we service those in Cuyahoga County as well as surrounding counties.

 

Our Mission

We aim to conserve works of art through various means of stabilization and cleaning methods, treating the work in an ethical and respectful way. Maintaining reversibility in all treatments, the artwork brought to our studio is cared for with the sole intent to keep the artwork's integrity. As conservators, we are ethically bound to the preservation of cultural heritage. We aim to approach a work of art technically, considering the work's history, stability, and aesthetic, weighing if either of those parameters will be compromised by the treatment of the piece.
