<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 3735489, member: 23"]We inherited an 1835 ancestor portrait. There was a minor tear and the paint was "cupping" - cracking and curling up. It cost a bit, but we had a professional restorer fix it and you can barely tell where the tear was. Depending on how valuable it is to you and whether you have an established restorer nearby. The woman who did ours was the caretaker of the Winslow Homer murals at Bowdoin College in Maine so we knew she'd do a good job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
