Conservation Code of ethics

Code of Ethics

In ourwork as conservator we follow the Code of Ethics as laid down by the European Confederation of Conservator-Restorers' Organisations (E.C.C.O). This briefly means that:

  • Our professional actions are guided by respect for the aesthetic and historical value and physical integrity of the object and by the principle of reversibility.
  • We will not carry out any treatment unsuitable for the purpose of maintenance, conservation or restoration, and which does not serve the interests of the object.
  • We observe a restraint in our actions. Conservation will only be carried out after research and consultation with the person commissioning the conservation.
  • Every object will receive the best possible treatment according to modern standards regardless of its value and quality.
