  1. Should Old Master Paintings be Restored? If you're lucky enough to own an original piece from a seminal painter of days gone by, you'll understandably wish to display it. As this will attract all manner of attention, you'll also be keen to keep the art looking its best. It's likelier that such an artistic endeavour will be displayed in a museum or gallery, but the same logic applies in such a setting.

  2. Consider the philosophical debate of the Ship of Theseus, though. If old master painting restoration means that a piece of artwork has deviated – even slightly – from the original intent, is it still the same painting? When undertaking acrylic painting restoration in London, Simon Gillespie is always keen to take this under advisement. The most significant disparity between old master acrylic paintings and modern sensibilities is colour palette and vibrancy. Due to the materials used in the past, the original canvases of the old masters are typically more muted than may be expected. Ergo, some collectors find it tempting to add a little more flair to a canvas, potentially believing that the colours have faded through age or damage. Ultimately, when undertaking acrylic painting restoration in our London gallery, Simon Gillespie will be guided by a client's wishes. Our expert and experienced art restorers will advise on the best course of action, based on their expertise, but will always accede to the preferences of an owner of the artwork. Perhaps more importantly, Simon Gillespie believes firmly in the importance of reversibility when managing acrylic painting restoration. This is especially important when tackling old master painting restoration. Any adjustments made must be reversible, lest a future owner feels differently about the legacy of the art. While our art restorers will conduct any and all requested restoration work, the core painting will always remain the same.
