We have a deep appreciation for vintage oleographs, and the process of restoring them is genuinely gratifying. Here are the steps we take to preserve a piece of history, extend its lifespan, and maintain its authentic charm:

1. Frame Evaluation: The vintage frame can often become loose or worn due to the passage of time. We meticulously test each frame for stability, and if the damage is extensive, we opt to replace the frame.

2. Glass Replacement: Recognizing the vulnerability of vintage prints during shipping, we replace the original glass with acrylic. This change ensures that the artwork remains protected and undamaged.

3. Backboard Replacement: Many vintage prints come with a metal backing, which can corrode over time due to exposure to air and moisture. To prevent potential damage to both the print and the wall, we often replace the corroded metal backing with a new, high-density fiberboard backing.

Our goal is to preserve the original charm of these oleographs while presenting them to you in a renewed and revitalized form. Each step is carefully executed to honor the historical significance of these prints, ensuring they continue to captivate for years to come.
