At AstaGuru, we regard artworks and antiques as living custodians of history. Even the most carefully preserved objects are subject to ageing and environmental stress, and their longevity and integrity rely on informed conservation and sensitive restoration.

As a leading auction house, AstaGuru prioritises the condition and authenticity of every object. Our in-house conservators approach each work with scholarly rigour, restoring, repairing, or stabilising only after careful analysis of its medium, pigments, materials, period, and historical context.

Our conservation philosophy is grounded in restraint and respect. Interventions are undertaken only when necessary to preserve an object’s character and historical integrity. Using research, archival methods, and scientific analysis, specialists address challenges like heat, humidity, and material fatigue, which can cause warping, cracking, fibre deterioration, or irreversible chemical changes.

Meticulous care ensures restoration does not compromise artistic intent or provenance. Each treatment safeguards the object for future generations while maintaining its cultural and aesthetic significance.

For conservation or restoration guidance, our specialists offer confidential and tailored advice.
