Art Conservation & Restoration Services
Architectural Decorative Arts Conservation, Restoration, Collections Management, Preventive Care & Art Exhibitions Support
Kalypso Kampani leads a specialised art conservation practice dedicated to the preservation, study and long-term care of artworks and historic interiors. With more than two decades of international experience across the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Greece, her work serves museums, heritage organisations, private collections and architecturally significant properties. Her approach is defined by precision, research-led methodology and a clear understanding of how artworks exist within their material, cultural and architectural context, ensuring conservation outcomes that are both technically sound and historically sensitive.
Drawing on her expertise in wall paintings, mosaics, decorative surfaces, easel and panel paintings, polychrome sculpture, gilding, plaster, stone, metal and mixed-media works, Kalypso provides conservation interventions that stabilise, protect and restore complex artworks with discretion and clarity. She offers guidance on preventive conservation, collections care and exhibition preparation, supporting institutions and private clients in maintaining safe, stable environments for their collections. Her practice also extends to material research, paint analysis and the redesign or reinstatement of historic decorative schemes, including stencil decoration and traditional finishes.
Through close collaboration with architects, engineers, curators and specialist consultants, Kalypso Kampani delivers coordinated solutions for heritage sites and collections, ensuring that every project is approached with the highest standard of professional integrity. Her work reflects a balance of craftsmanship, scientific understanding and long-term preservation strategy, providing clients with expert support at every stage of conservation and care. In addition to hands-on conservation, Kalypso leads complex, multidisciplinary projects, coordinating teams of architects, engineers, curators and contractors to deliver strategic conservation outcomes. She advises institutions and private clients on project management, risk assessment, and long-term preservation planning, bringing a leadership perspective that integrates technical excellence with strategic decision-making. As an experienced lecturer and mentor, she also trains and guides the next generation of conservators, fostering professional development and excellence in the field.
Art Conservation & Consultancy
Preservation of artworks is approached through a considered and methodical process, guided by a clear understanding of each object’s material structure and history. She begins by studying every piece closely, assessing its condition, past interventions and inherent vulnerabilities through careful visual examination and, when required, scientific analysis. Based on this understanding, she develops a tailored treatment plan and carries out only the necessary interventions, whether that involves reducing surface deposits, consolidating unstable or flaking layers or reintegrating areas of loss where appropriate. Preventive care forms an essential part of her methodology, supported by controlled environmental conditions, safe handling, appropriate display systems and archival packaging for transport. Every stage is documented through detailed written reports and photographs, ensuring clarity, transparency and continuity in the conservation record of each artwork.
Collections Care, Management and Preventive Conservation
Specialised consultation is offered in collections management and preventive conservation, approached with a precise understanding of the distinct material, historical and environmental needs of each collection. This includes the systematic review of environmental conditions, detailed recommendations for climate control and light levels, and the development of clear, operational guidelines for the safe handling, packing and transport of objects to minimise preventable risks in daily practice. The work extends to the formulation of long-term maintenance strategies and the integration of risk-aware planning into exhibition development, ensuring that objects are moved, displayed and cared for within secure, controlled frameworks. Equal attention is given to documentation standards and the organisation of collection databases, where records are structured with clarity and consistency to support accurate tracking, responsible decision-making and the sustained stability of the collection. Through this comprehensive and methodical approach, collections are safeguarded against avoidable deterioration and supported with systems that ensure their preservation over time.
Exhibition and art-handling coordination is carried out with a focus on safety, precision and clear communication between all parties involved. She oversees the planning of display layouts, prepares detailed condition reports before installation, and supervises the mounting, lighting and environmental requirements to ensure that artworks are presented securely and to professional standards. Her work extends to art fairs, where she coordinates packing, transport and rapid installation under controlled and secure conditions. She also collaborates with galleries and art dealers, offering expertise on condition assessment, authenticity considerations, display needs and the ways in which conservation can influence an artwork’s long-term stability and market value.
