Transform your leaden art on paper into gold!

(Or just make it last longer and look better)

Paper art is fragile and easily damaged by
environmental factors and acidic framing materials.
U.V. light and cardboard backings can cause
yellowing and embrittlement, and moisture
can lead to water staining and foxing.
Fortunately, this deterioration can
be stabilized or reversed.

With over 19 years of practical experience, The Paper Alchemyst emphasizes less invasive
preservation measures in the cleaning and repair of prints and documents.

The following services are available at reasonable rates:
