St Saviour's, Dartmouth: seventeenth century painted ceilings
Conservation of the entire seventeenth century decorative scheme; work included cleaning and removal of discloured varnish from chancel and side chapel ceilings, conservation of the heraldry and Royal Arms on the gallery and of the Altar Table.
Painted timber is found in a variety of situations - from large cathedral ceilings to domestic screens. We have worked on numerous schemes, some executed in oil, others in size-based medium. Projects often involve collaboration with timber conservators and dendrochronologists as well as art historians and archaeologists.
