I was thrilled with the quality of Vincent’s restoration of some old pencil drawings on paper that had become mouldy because I foolishly had stored them in a basement. He was professional, meticulous, and treated my drawings with incredible care and respect. The price was surprisingly reasonable even though he clearly put a lot of time into the restoration. I was heartbroken when I discovered the mound but Vincent really rescued the drawings. I am extremely grateful!

Vincent did a great job on a poster I had from 1851 that had been mildewing and folded in someone’s basement for the last 30 years. It needed fairly extensive treatment before it was ready to be framed, and it was great to have it framed and treated in the same place. I would recommend him happily :)

Vincent did a fantastic job with my piece. He transformed a long-neglected print into a thing of beauty and provided a detailed and informative report on his work. His fees were quite reasonable and he was very responsive. I would heartily recommend Vincent to anyone looking for conservation services.

Vincent is an art magician. He helped me restore a vintage Inuit print acquired from an estate sale that was in a pretty bad condition. It had a large old and very visible stain and black mould around the edges. Vincent brought the print back to its original glory, it looks like new!Vincent is very pleasant and easy to work with. He handled the print with the utmost care and respect. I can tell that he is passionate about what he does and I will trust him with any piece of art I need restored in the future.I couldn’t recommend Vincent enough! I’m so grateful to have found him.

I needed help to repair and restore a 65-year-old caribou-hide Inuit dogteam whip. Vincent used very innovative techniques to invisibly repair the cracks, breaks and discolourations along the length of the whip. He also humidified and reconditioned the hide and helped me source a display box to safely keep the whip. In addition, he offered to help mount and secure the whip and other sealskin artifacts in the box so I could permanently display these family heirlooms. He was communicative and helpful throughout the project and billed the quoted price. I can unreservedly recommend Vincent's quality of work and service.

I was referred to Vincent from a large Art Restoration service in Toronto as they did not specialize in paper.Vincent's impeccable work restored my 50+ year old water-damaged Inuit print and I am so pleased to have this piece of my family memorabilia back in it's glory.Vincent was on time, on budget, gave helpful suggestions and kept the lines of communication open.I am reminded of his professionalism every day when I see my beautiful print that he restored. Thank you Vincent.I highly recommend the Art Restoration services of Conservation+Culture.

Vincent did excellent work in restoring a print portfolio that had been kept in damp conditions and was quite moldy -- stained and smelly. I recommend his work highly.

My Riopelle Lithograph was In need of conservation. Vincent Dion did excellent work conserving and reframing the artwork. He receives my highest recommendation.

Vincent was a pleasure to deal with. Communicative, professional, flexible, calm and kind. He restored torn up pastel drawing with great care- then framed it beautifully. It will stay with me for the rest of my life. Thank you Vincent at Conservation + Culture!

Over the past few months Conservation+Culture has repaired, conserved and cleaned well over 100K worth of 17th and 18th century books and maps for me. The work exceeded every expectation, was professionally completed from start to finish, and just as importantly affordably priced. Vincent Dion, understands the fine balance between restoring a work without risking damage to the underlying material being restored. I was impressed by the cutting edge techniques and methods he employs, and his studio is modern, fully equipped and frankly first rate. Moreover, Vincent's formal education is unique in the restoration community, and that alone makes him a cut above the rest.
