Here\'s a rare opportunity to have two of you cherished movie posters professionally linen-backed and restored to its former glory.
Typically reserved for personal and private collections, I\'m opening a small window to accommodate a few extra posters, including yours.
This listing is tailored for TWO posters measuring no larger than 42\" tall and 30\" wide. Most standard 1-sheet movie posters, daybills, 1/2 sheets, or inserts qualify. If you\'re unsure if your poster meets the criteria, feel free to reach out with images and dimensions.
Our meticulous linen-backing process adheres strictly to traditional archival standards, ensuring every restoration is reversible and aimed at preserving the poster\'s life and durability without causing any damage.
We begin by inspecting each poster for authenticity before any restoration work. A preemptive prep stage follows, where minimal tape or residue is delicately removed to prepare the poster for wet work.
Next, the poster undergo a thorough cleaning process using an alkaline solution to eliminate dirt and acidity from the paper. For posters needing additional care, a gentle bleaching process is applied to brighten the paper, eradicate mold and stains, and restore the original colors.
Once cleaned, the posters are carefully mounted onto canvas lined with acid-free archival paper, using pH-balanced wheat paste glue. After drying, basic color restoration is meticulously applied using water-soluble watercolor pencils as needed, ensuring a vibrant and rejuvenated appearance.
Please note:
- The entire process typically takes about a week from start to finish.
- Shipping back to you is $39.99, covering return shipping, insurance, and protective mailing tube. Unfortunately, this service is not available for international customers.
A few reminders:
- Some posters may be too damaged for restoration beyond reasonable expectations. If unsure, send pictures for assessment.
- To mitigate risk, we limit this service to posters valued at less than $2000 replacement cost, based on comps from previous sales.
Don\'t miss this chance to revitalize your beloved movie poster!
