About Our Company

Heller Conservation Services offers private collectors, corporate collections, institutions and historical societies the conservation and restoration of furniture, frames, gilded and painted furniture, works on paper, photographs, and wallpaper.  Our conservators have many combined years of experience working in museums and private conservation studios. As members of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC), International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (IIC), and The Institute of Conservation (Icon) we are able to remain up to date with the latest developments in the treatment and preservation of fine and decorative arts.
