Damage Restoration for Antiques in Cincinnati | Old World Restorations Inc

For Cincinnati residents, water damage often comes from snowmelt, commercial leaks, or condo flooding, leading to mold and structural issues. Our team first assesses the item’s condition, then carefully cleans and stabilizes it to prevent further decay. We use reversible methods so that future restorers can work without harming the original. Whether it’s a waterlogged painting or a moldy ceramic, we treat each piece with the same care as museum artifacts.

Reversibility means any restoration work we perform can be undone by a future conservator without damaging the original artwork. For example, when cleaning a painting, we use solvents and techniques that allow later experts to remove our additions if needed. This ensures your painting’s integrity remains intact, aligning with professional conservation standards.

Yes, we restore ceramics, glass, and other decorative objects. Our process includes cleaning, reassembling broken pieces, filling gaps with reversible materials, and matching original finishes. This applies to heirloom vases, antique plates, or stained glass. We handle each item with precision to preserve its historical and sentimental value.
