At Church Farm in Kington Langley is Kate Armor whose specialism is the fascinating conservation of all works of art on paper – paintings, drawings, prints and ephemera.
Armor Paper Conservation Limited
From simple mould and discolouration to extreme damage, items from the 16th – 21st century are returned to excellent condition. The techniques used are to the highest museum standards and comply with the code of practice set out by the Institute of Conservation. All conservation is reversible and applied with minimum intervention.
The studio is open 9am – 4pm five days a week and other times by appointment. A large amount of our time is taken up by careful documentation before washing, swabbing, lining, filling missing areas, killing mould, supporting and replacing fragments … no two items are the same. Ultimately revealing a picture’s full beauty.
Kate works out of a converted farm building which was originally a row of potting sheds and hunt kennels.
