Museum-Quality Restoration & Repair

If it isbroken, Archeo~Arts can probably fix it.  We repair and restore artifacts, carvings, tin retalblos, Native American pottery, fountains, deteriorating adobe walls, mosaics, museum-caliber fossils, minerals, and family heirlooms.

CapeTown’s historic Evangelical Lutheran Church had a big problem: two centuries of water damage and thousands of tramping feet had worn through the original terra cotta floor tiles to the substrate.  The floors were being destroyed.  They also posed a serious tripping-hazard to visitors.  Archeo~Arts restored the damaged flooring so that it blended with the original in texture, color and materials.

Whetherthe object is worth tens of thousands of dollars or only a few, Archeo~Arts can probably fix it.  We restore carvings, sculptures, paintings, pottery, ceramics, mineral and fossil specimens, and other art objects. Everything but fine china.

Email or call to see if we can help with your particular disaster.

While Archeo~Arts does not undertake fossil excavation or initial preparation, we repair and stabilize damaged or friable fossil and mineral specimens of all kinds.
