Testimonials
“Chris of Whistler studios is one of the finest restorers we have found, a good artistic eye for colour tone and style allows him to breathe new life onto old work, cleaning, repairing restoring and rejuvenating paintings (especially oils). We have worked with him on our art collection for more than a decade and couldn't praise him or his work more highly.
Alongside excellent restoration, he frames in many styles, as well as restretching and repairing old frames. His gesso gilding is superb. “
— Peter R., Environmental Heritage Officer
“Whistler Studios has accomplished a masterly restoration and reframing of a renowned 19th century oil painting. Chris displays a true and deft artist's appreciation of what needs to be done to restore former glory and a craftsman's skill second to none. Cannot be more highly recommended”
— Stuart P.
“Chris is a most professional and experienced restorer. I am delighted with the restoration work he has done on my oil painting and frame. He took time to explain his restoration process and has brought the painting back to life revealing details that couldn’t be seen before. I would highly recommend Whistler Studios. —Frankie F –W
