"You have performed a miracle! You took a torn and tattered scrap of (poor quality) paper, which I really thought was beyond redemption, and turned it into an artwork that will be enjoyed and treatsured by our family for generations. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!"

- Eileen Morris, Private Collector

 


 

"I received the lithograph of Mrs. O'Leary and her cow today. I am so very, very pleased! The difference is just remarkable! One would never guess it had been restored. Thanks again for all your efforts! I'm sure the publisher will be equally pleased with your fine work."

- Richard Bales, Author of
  The Great Chicago Fire and
  the Myth of Mrs. O'Leary's Cow

 


 

"Since its inception a quarter century ago, I have used Graphic Conservation for difficult projects requiring expertise in the restoration of antique maps and rare books. The results have always been superb. In addition, the costs have been repaid many times over in the value added to the items from the delicate improvements executed."

- Harry L. Stern,
  Antiquarian Bookseller

 


 

"Always prompt, excellent service. Conservations are first class. The quality of my print collection has been significantly improved by your conservation methods.

- Dr. Stephen Turner
  Collector of Fine Art

 


 

"Thank you so much for the excellent conservation your firm provided me. It is better than I ever imagined it could be and without a doubt, Graphic is the best.

- Private Collector

 


 

"I want to thank you and your staff again and again for doing a superb job on the projects I have submitted to you. I am totally amazed at how you are able to do your job.

- Allan Callow,
  Private Collector

Our Work

 

Pilot

As one of the largest private paper conservation firms in the country, our team, led by two Professional Associates of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC), uses its unique expertise in paper conservation to preserve the history and beauty of all works on paper including:

  • Prints
  • Drawings
  • Watercolors
  • Pastels
  • Maps
  • Posters
  • Books
  • Manuscripts
  • Blue Prints
  • Globes
  • Billboard Advertising
  • Historical Documents
  • Paper Memorabilia
  • Portfolios

Graphic Conservation has been entrusted with the careful conservation of such rare and important historical pieces as Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Frank Lloyd Wright's personal manuscripts. We have worked on valuable collections such as maps, advertising art and sports memorabilia, as well as fine works of art by Rembrant, Picasso and Warhol. Perhaps, most important, are the priceless personal mementos, such as family bibles, documents, and letters entrusted to our care. Regardless of monetary value, we promise to place the same consideration and concern into each item we conserve.

Here are more samples of work we have completed.
