Louise Vaile ACR

Based in Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, I have been providing a high quality paper conservation/restoration service to organisations and individuals since establishing the business in 2006.

I pride myself on my range of practical skills, problem-solving abilities and attention to detail. I place great emphasis on cultivating solid and enduring working relationships with clients, by offering considered and cost-effective treatments, within agreed timescales.
