Restoration
The Atelier Simon-Marq combines traditional practices and technical innovations for the restoration of ancient stained glass. Our conservator-restorers study each stained glass piece and provide a rigorous diagnosis. They suggest suitable treatments and handle all stages of the restoration, with a historical approach, to preserve and enhance the heritage.
