We also represent an artist
who makes one of a kind custom
blankets and now,
scarves.
The difference between restoration, conservation, and
preservation, is that restoration
is primarily concerned with the appearance and
function of a piece; while conservation
and preservation are concerned with
preserving the object's structure, with countering
physical deterioration, and
with preserving the object’s history and value to
the greatest extent possible.
We
have in-house furniture upholsterers,
wood workers, and specialty finishers, and also work with
independent specialty artists and workers, such as tapestry,
blacksmithing, and gilding specialists. All work
together on projects under our guidance in order to offer the
best expertise possible for our clients.
Location
MPF is located in Oregon, and our client
base ranges from Southern California to Western Canada!
