Conservation
and Restoration of
Fine Furniture and Objects
Bernacki & Associates, Inc. was established
over
20 years ago, and has since become one of the
most respected furniture and object conservation
firms in the Chicago area. The company offers
a wide array of conservation services for period
and modern furniture, wooden artifacts and
upholstery. Finishing capabilities include
consolidation, French polishing, traditional and
modern finishes, and gold and silver leafing.
We employ methods and materials to solve the
most difficult structural problems from veneer work
to missing parts reproduction, Boulle work and
leather tooling.
Museums, private collectors, antique and art
dealers, designers, and insurance claims
specialists have utilized the services of Bernacki
& Associates, Inc. as the most comprehensive
conservation and restoration resource locally and
nationwide. Most recently we were called to
assess damage created by Hurricane Katrina,
Iowa and Texas flooding.
All work completed by Bernacki & Associates,
Inc. is strictly documented and performed in
accordance to the standards of the AIC
code
of ethics.
Peter M. Schoenmann from Parma Conservation, Ltd. and conservators
from
Bernacki & Associates will give a presentation on the process
of restoring
the Oliver Denett Grover paintings and surrounding them gilt plaster.
