With over 50 years of experience and eight generations of expertise, Erick Douwes has become an all-round painting restorer. High-risk cleaning projects and challenging restorations are his speciality. “It’s always a surprise to see how paintings come back to life with their original authenticity once dirt and yellowed varnish have been removed and damage repaired.”
Together with his colleague and freelance restorer Karin Eij, he forms a close-knit team at Douwes Restoration in Abcoude, carrying out restorations for you with expertise. “I can safely say that I have become a specialist. The thousands of paintings that have passed through my hands, and the wide variety of restorations I have carried out over the years, have shaped me into the craftsman I am today.”
Erick was chairman of A.R.A. Netherlands for many years and closely involved in the creation of the updated Restoration Register in the Netherlands. He was the first to be registered as a Senior-RegisterRestorator.
“You are most welcome to arrange a no-obligation assessment of the condition of your painting and what is possible in terms of restoration.”
