Erdmann Art Conservation, LLC

As a small museum with a large outdoor collection of statuary, we were in need of a conservator to give information about how to conserve/restore some the objects for a grant application. We found Mark Erdmann based on his website and contracted for a site visit. Mark responded quickly and set up a visit. He was very personable and professional in all contacts and during the visit showed his knowledge, experience, and expertise, and his interest in our collection. His written information was thorough and well documented with photos and perfect for the grant application.

We purchased a pair of ancient Chinese Lokapala sculptures, they are more than 1,000 years old and unfortunately when un-crating them we had some small parts break off on one of the sculptures.

We so admired his exquisite work that we invited nearby museums and collectors to celebrate its return and hear Mr. Erdmann tell us the story of each step in his restoration process. We invited Mark and his wife to be our guests at our home and had the

Mark was a true professional. He was quick to reach out and provide me a quote. I had a family silverware set I wanted to get polished and cleaned up and Mark took great care in providing me updates and finishing the work in a timely manner.

Thank you for your wonderful service; my parents were very excited to see their silverware better than it had ever been before!

We've used Erdmann Art Conservation twice now and will definitely use its services again! Mark is very professional and did a wonderful job conserving an art object for us. He's great at explaining his work and techniques and is a valuable resource for information.
