I could refurbish it for $1,000. Need to know if it’s on canvas or board? How bad are the chips?

Seth,
My wife and I have owned a Hudson School Pastel for the past 42 years. It is a prized possession. I have been doing some research and have found that the painting has many characteristics of the one found that had a copy of the Declaration of Independence behind the work. It has a beautiful hand carved frame, original glass and the back of the painting has never been removed. I contacted my state museum and they are not interested in helping me. My questions to you are, would an x-ray show if there is another piece of paper behind the painting and would it damage the work?
Thank You Seth

Did you ever get your piece of your ancestor restored?

I do art restorations. I have been doing it for over 35 years. Clients ship their pieces to me internationally. I have a huge client base in The Bahamas they ship to me here in Florida. I also have Florida clients as well. I can give you references of past work I have done. My biggest and most notable client is Gilbert Llyod from Llyods of London. I did about 40 pieces of his private collection that he had in his Bahamas residence. My contact information is 352-531-8762 if you would like to discuss your piece further.

We have a portrait of an ancestor that needs to be cleaned. It is very large. Possibly, just a guess the width is 48 X 56 inches. To my knowledge, it has never been cleaned; probably full of wax & soot and you cannot the signature. No holes. One spot , not even as big as the head of a thumb tack where paint will need to be repaired.

Thank you,

Best regards,
Laura
