Peggy restored two oil paintings of special significance to our family to their original beauty. We are thrilled with the results and impressed with the quality of the work done, as well as the quick turn around. The price was as bid and Peggy communicated before and after each step. We will not hesitate to bring other artworks to Van Witt for conservation and highly recommend the business to others.

I could sit in this place and talk to them for hours about all the interesting things they've got going on. Big projects or small projects let them give you a bid. You will not be disappointed. I wasn't. Keep up the good work
Peggy Van Witt is a professional art conservator who cleaned a painting created by my Great Grandmother in the early 1890s. Now the white water lilies are white again. She completed the job in less than a week.
Van Witt Fine Art has worked on a number of objects for me and I couldn't be happier! I have several different antique art pieces (paintings and prints) in my personal collection which were in need of repair and I was connected to Peggy through a search of the American Institute for Conservation's expert directory. We arranged an appointment for her to review the objects with me where she evaluated the construction and condition of each piece and generated a treatment proposal. She was extremely attentive to understanding the object and understanding my goal. She and her team kept in close contact with me during the process and even shared an update photo to keep me informed. When I picked up my art, I was absolutely stunned by the transformation! They far and away exceeded my expectations. After that experience, I have brought a number of pieces to them to be conserved and every time I walk away impressed. Peggy and her team brilliantly intertwine the science of caring for aging materials with an artistic eye to how they should appear. Overall, they are professional, timely, courteous, and true joy to work with. I would recommend Van Witt to anyone with art which needs repaired, conserved, or restored.
Peggy and her team have restored two or our paintings. Their transformation from dark and colorless to vibrant and lively was stunning. Peggy's quite enthusiasm for her vocation and concern for her customers' art were apparent when she inspected our paintings and clearly explained the restoration process. Van Witt Fine Art Conservation is a 5-star-plus asset to the Kansas City metro area.
I am very pleased with the work that Van Witt Fine Art Conservation did on my painting. The entire painting is much brighter and the flowers really seem to stand out now. Thank you so much for your professionalism and care in working with a family treasure.
Van Witt Fine Art Conservation has conserved several paintings for me over the years. Peggy's expertise is amazing. Her charges are reasonable and she always completes the work in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
I received as a gift a paper book from 1943. It meant a lot to me and it was in bad shape. I asked Peggy van Witt to give me an estimate. It was a sizeable chunk of money, but the book contained memories and lots of emotion for me. She restored it by removing cellophane tape applied years ago, washing the pages, regluing pages that were torn, creating a new cover and repainting portions of the book that were lost to time. The only thing she couldn't do was recreate chunks of paper which were ripped out of the book. But she made the book useable again, made it something I could enjoy and give to my child and grandchild. Conservation of such documents is not an inexpensive process. But if something is valuable to you, and can be made (nearly) whole, then it is money well spent.
