Whether you bring me a cherished family document, an archival item or a rare music poster, I will assess it with care and recommend an appropriate course of treatment according to your needs and budget.
My studio is based in Royal Earlswood Surrey, but happy to travel to meet clients as needed, depending on the item, location and circumstances
Why Choose The Paper & Poster Studio
Choosing The Poster & Paper Studio means placing your items in the care of a trained conservator who understands their material needs, historical context and personal significance.
I offer a bespoke service tailored to each client and object, including clear condition assessments, considered treatment recommendations and practical advice on handling, aftercare and storage.
Condition and treatment reports are available on request and can also be included as part of the overall treatment proposal. These reports, along with any appraisal or authentication documentation where appropriate, provide a useful record for future reference, care planning and peace of mind.
Throughout each project, I provide clear communication, regular updates where appropriate and transparent guidance on treatment options, timescales and pricing.
