conservators and restorers

Conservators and restorers are professionals who work to preserve and repair artworks, artifacts, and historical objects. Conservators focus on stabilizing an item’s current condition, preventing further deterioration, and maintaining its authenticity through careful analysis and minimal intervention. Restorers, on the other hand, may repair damage or fill in missing parts to make the object look closer to its original form, often balancing preservation with aesthetic considerations. Both roles require specialized knowledge to ensure that the object's historical and cultural integrity is respected while extending its life for future generations.
