Welcome to Julia Nagle conservation of fine art

We are an accredited practice of highly qualified and experienced conservator/restorers of easel paintings.  We are conveniently placed for the City, Shoreditch and Islington; our nearest tube station is Bethnal Green.  While based in London we also condition check, conserve and restore works of art for clients throughout the UK and internationally. 

We restore and conserve paintings on canvas wood and metal of all ages, and are one of very few studios who have specialist expertise in the conservation of contemporary and modern art.  

We have years of conservation experience at museums including Tate and The Serpentine Gallery and at commercial galleries in the UK and abroad.  As well as museums and galleries, our clients include artists, insurers, loss adjustors, and individual private collectors. 

We are a flexible, responsive and approachable team, able to deal with very large projects at short notice; we recently assessed 400 flood damaged paintings over three days and treated those in need within three months.  

With trusted frame, paper, sculpture and ceramic conservators to hand, as well as specialist art transporters, framers, installers, insurers and conservation scientists to call on, we provide a full conservation service for clients.  

Estimates are based on the time taken to carry out treatments, usually at least one day and sometimes several weeks.  Prices are based on an hourly rate of £60 + VAT. Estimates are given freely and without obligation, but please note that an accurate or binding estimate cannot be provided from photographs. 

Julia Nagle is accredited by ICON (The Institute for Conservation) and an assessor for the Professional Accreditation of conservators across all disciplines.  She was senior lecturer in the Care and Conservation of Works of Art at University College London for several years, and a freelance conservator at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, University of Cambridge from 1993 to 2003.  

All associates and freelancers are fully-qualified, highly motivated, talented and experienced.  

The studio annually accepts interns from recognised conservation training institutions for work experience. Interested applicants should send a full cv together with 200 words describing why they have chosen our practice, and what they would like to achieve during a placement.
