Conservation & Restoration
J. Wright Globemaker specialises in conservation and restoration services for globes and their associated elements, including globe stands, compasses, and brass components. I use conservation-standard techniques and meticulous attention to detail to preserve their historical significance.
My conservation and restoration approach prioritises the preservation of original materials, retaining the craftsmanship intricacies and nuances of each globe. Every globe is unique, and treatments are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
I’ve had the privilege of working with globes from institutions, museums, and private collectors. Each project is handled with care, ensuring the integrity of every piece is maintained, whether restoring a family heirloom or enhancing a collection.
Condition Assessment, Research & Analysis
I offer complimentary treatment estimates and evaluate your globe’s condition, identifying areas in need of conservation or restoration. Following the assessment, I provide a detailed estimate outlining the necessary treatments and care options.
Additionally, I offer surveys, assessments, and condition reports for globes in both private and institutional collections.
Conservation Treatment
A comprehensive range of preventative and interventive treatments is available for globes.
Conservation treatment follows a systematic and phased process, beginning with a thorough assessment of the artefact, including its materials, techniques, and current condition.
For every case, a range of treatment options will be provided for discussion. Conservation services are charged at £45 per hour.
Treatment Report & Documentation
Every project is meticulously documented, and a detailed treatment report is provided upon completion, ensuring transparency and accountability.
For those seeking an in-depth understanding of their globe's history, I also offer comprehensive reports that include enhanced historical and provenance research, along with materials analysis, available upon request.
