Preserving the beauty and value of your treasures for generations to come
At Vetera Collecta, we understand that your art and antiques are more than just objects—they are treasures with historical, emotional, and financial value. Our restoration services are performed by master conservators who combine traditional techniques with modern scientific methods to preserve and enhance your pieces while respecting their authenticity and integrity.
Whether you have a painting with flaking pigment, a sculpture with structural damage, or an antique with faded finishes, our team approaches each project with the utmost care and expertise.
Our state-of-the-art conservation studio is equipped with the latest technology for examination, analysis, and treatment of artworks and antiques. From infrared reflectography to microscopic analysis, we use scientific methods to understand the materials and techniques used in your piece, ensuring that our restoration approach is appropriate and effective.
Our team includes specialists in paintings, works on paper, sculpture, furniture, and decorative arts, each with advanced training and years of experience. Under the supervision of our chief conservator, who trained at the Institut Royal du Patrimoine Artistique in Brussels, every restoration project follows the highest ethical standards of the conservation profession.
"Restoration is not about making something look new, but about revealing and preserving the artist's original intent while ensuring the piece's longevity," explains our chief conservator. "We document every step of our process and use only reversible materials, so future conservators can continue to care for your treasures."
