Welsh Color and Conservation, Inc. typically provides comprehensive on-site
consulting services, some (but not all) projects can be managed with no
on-site visits by our firm. We invite you to give us a call first to tell
us about your project so we can offer recommendations on how we are able
to help you.
First published in 1977, it is now in its fourth edition. It has been used by numerous architects, engineers and homeowners on a variety of restoration projects and also has been included in historic preservation syllabuses at many universities. To order a copy of the Paintpamphlet™: A Guide for Investigating and Sampling Historic Architectural Paints and Wallpapers for Analysis of Original Colors, please call or send us an email. There is a nominal charge of $20 to cover printing and mailing expense. If you already have it but need a new copy of the Sampling Information Form and Checklist, select the link below.

As we pursue your project together you will find that Welsh Color and Conservation, Inc. is not only an analytical laboratory that will provide reliable data from our microanalysis of your samples, but also we are an experienced consulting firm whose breadth of knowledge consistently provides valuable insight and advice. Together, we can determine the answers to your questions, economically, without us visiting your site. |

If
you are an architect, engineer, or old house owner and would like
to take your own samples from your building or structure to send into
Welsh Color and Conservation, Inc. for lab analysis, the first step in
the process is to order a copy of our Paintpamphlet™.
It is a 36-page guide that explains and illustrates, with many color photographs,
how to look for the best architectural paint and wallpaper evidence and
how to take the best samples. It is designed to help you play a key role,
participating in the investigation and sampling process, so that you can
send samples to us for analysis.
If
you are a conservator or collector and are interested in the analysis
of paints on a painting, antique furniture, toy or object of fine art
for purposes of dating and authentication, please give us a call so we
can discuss your needs. It may be possible for you to take and send us
very small samples, or you may want to bring or mail the entire object
to us so that we can do the sampling. The techniques for sampling these
pieces are entirely distinct from those used for historic structures and
are not included in the Paintpamphlet™.
