Oil painting restoration

kavitamehta · Jun 12th, 2009, 09:47

We recently moved to Mumbai from Singapore and brought along two oil paintings (purchased in Vietnam). We noticed that one of them is getting some brown stains on the white background. Can anyone recommend a HIGH QUALITY restoration service that can come out and assess why the painting is discoloring and potential steps for repair? We are in Mumbai, near Lower Parel.

you can hire experienced fine art restorer,keeping in mind they charge hefty sum and take lot of time, beware of amature ones while selecting for job, they might ruin your painting.

Contact the local museum to get their recommendations and then work your way around the local art cleaning & restoration community as per their contacts and your budget.
