Condition Assessment Condition Assessment
  • Condition check via thorough assessment to understand the present condition of the artwork, its making and deterioration pattern
  • Non-invasive examination like Raking Light, Transmitting Light, Reflectance Transformation Imaging, Ultraviolet Radiation, or Infrared Radiation

These examinations highlight the traces of previous conservation, the nature of pigments, underdrawing, over-painting, and other details, which contributes to outlining a fingerprint for the artefact. Condition assessment not only applies to objects in need of curatorial conservation but a structurally sound object can also be examined using these techniques.

We help you efficiently track and manage a large collection. Creating a digital archive ensures protection from environmental factors. Digitization is an excellent way to avoid the mishandling of artefacts and thus ensure added safety. A digital repository of high-resolution images and an integrated system enable better management and easy accessibility. It allows you the freedom to zoom in to the finer details of artwork at your convenience.
