We offer bespoke treatments and consultation for museums, libraries, archives, as well as private clients and antique book dealers. RNA is known for its high level of skill and passion for historical objects. Our expertises include bookbindings, art on paper, historic interiors and furniture of leather and parchment, and historical models of papier-mâché. In addition to practical conservation services, we offer damage and condition assessments of collections, insurance documentation and historical research.
