Q: How do I
obtain conservation services?
Step
1: The first step in the conservation process is assessing the
object’s current condition.
Examination of your objects can be done both on-site or in our conservation
studio.
Step 2: A condition report is prepared
outlining the object’s current condition.
Step 3: A treatment proposal is
submitted outlining our recommendations for treatment. The
treatment proposal becomes a contract outlining what work is to
be performed and the associated fees.
Step 4: A treatment report documenting
the work performed will be provided to the client. When
applicable, photo documentation will be provided.
Step 4: Transportation of your pieces
can be arranged through our shippers or by the shipper of your
choice.
Q: How do I commission a reproduction?:
Step 1: Clients provide a photograph from a book or
magazine, or the object itself. If the object to be reproduced cannot be shipped
to our studio, we can travel to the site and collect all
necessary information to make an accurate reproduction.
Step 2. Determine the wood, color, finish, and
transportation arrangements
Step 3. A detailed contract along with scaled drawings
must be approved before construction
begins.
Q: Why commission
Fallon & Wilkinson, LLC to build a reproduction?
A: We bring a three-fold approach to the
process that our competition does not. First, we have the hand
skills to build an exact copy. Secondly, we use the years of
experience restoring antiques to insure that the materials, proportions, and details are accurate. Finally, our
training at the Smithsonian Institution exposed us to some of
the greatest collections of furniture in the world.
Q: Are You Insured?
A: Yes, we have Liability Insurance and
Personal Property of Others Insurance.
Q: How is the studio
secured?
A: Our studio is equipped with a monitored
security system.
Q: Is the studio
climate controlled?
A: Yes. Our studio is humidified in the winter
months and air conditioned and dehumidified in the summer
months.
