Art Conservation Services

Kalypso Kampani’s decorative arts conservation work encompasses a wide range of treatments and environmental care measures designed to protect artworks within their architectural context. Her approach centres on ensuring that each piece, surface or structure is preserved with stability and clarity, supported by appropriate conservation procedures and controlled conditions throughout the building envelope, allowing historic interiors to remain safe, legible and structurally secure over time.

Wall Paintings Conservation

Conservation of wall paintings includes the stabilisation of plasters and pigments, controlled cleaning and the reinforcement of weakened surfaces. Treatments focus on preserving the original material while ensuring long-term stability within historic buildings and heritage sites.

Mosaics Conservation

Mosaic conservation addresses the condition of tesserae, bedding layers and surrounding substrates. Work involves cleaning, reattachment, filling and structural support to maintain the integrity of both the decorative surface and the underlying construction.

Conservation of easel paintings focuses on surface cleaning, varnish adjustment, consolidation of fragile paint layers, stabilisation of canvas supports and structural repairs. The aim is to preserve clarity and structural balance while respecting original materials.

Easel Paintings Conservation

Panel paintings require specialised treatment due to the behaviour of wooden supports. Procedures include structural reinforcement, correction of warping, consolidation of paint layers and carefully controlled cleaning to maintain stability and visual coherence.

Historic paint research examines pigments, layers, and materials to guide conservation and understand original techniques. It supports responsible treatment decisions, helps locate hidden wall paintings, assesses their condition, and informs accurate paint-scheme reconstruction.

Metal conservation involves stabilising corrosion, cleaning sensitive surfaces and applying protective coatings tailored to the metal’s composition. The objective is to ensure durability and controlled visual presentation.

Stencil Decoration

Metal Conservation

Plaster monuments conservation covers decorative, architectural and structural plasters. Treatments address detachment, cracking and loss through stabilisation and reintegration within their architectural setting.

Stone conservation focuses on cleaning, salt mitigation, stabilisation and repair of fractured or eroded areas. Procedures support long-term preservation for both interior and exterior stone elements.

Frames conservation includes structural repairs, consolidation of decorative surfaces, controlled cleaning and restoration of finishes. The focus remains on preserving historical character and ensuring safe support for associated artworks.

Gilding Conservation

Panel Paintings Conservation

Polychrome sculpture conservation involves stabilising layered materials, cleaning painted and gilded surfaces and reinforcing structural elements. Each treatment respects the complexity and craftsmanship of historical polychromy.

Polychrome Sculpture Conservation

Gilding conservation and services include the controlled cleaning, consolidation and restoration of historic gold-leaf surfaces, together with the precise reapplication of gold leaf on architectural details and frames, ensuring continuity, stability and refined presentation.

Stencil redecoration covers the preservation or reconstruction of historic painted patterns based on surviving evidence. Work is executed with accuracy and restraint, maintaining continuity within architectural interiors.
