Richard Clifton-Hadley

The Richard Martin Gallery have thoroughly impressed me with their expertise and knowledge. I took a very battered oil painting to them for appraisal to see if it was worth restoring. The painting, which had been in my family for many decades, was from an oak fireplace surround and had suffered over the centuries from smoke and heat damage. Some of the paint was blistered, some had flaked off and the painting was discoloured brown which really obscured any fine detail of the painting. More recent damage included some knife and dart damage! Richard decided that the painting was just about restorable, given a fair wind. To see the finished result is just remarkable. From such unpromising material, Richard, Elaine and team have transformed the picture into a delightful Italianate evening scene. The painting is now stabilised and secure, the subject matter well-defined without being over-restored. It is an absolute joy to behold. A big ‘thank you’ to all at the Richard Martin Gallery.

Richard and Elaine recently restored three pictures for us, two of which date from the mid 1800s. They have done the most wonderful job and were even able to restore the original frames. An oil painting affected by craquelure has been miraculously renovated. In addition, a watercolour which was browned and affected by foxing has been revived with treatment which has brought out the beautiful colours and has enabled us to discern details that were previously hidden. Richard suggested a more appropriate frame and mounting which is very pleasing. We have no hesitation in recommending the gallery for its expertise. Thank you very much for your great service.

We have recently had a marine watercolour restored. It was quite extensively foxed and we were concerned that we might have seen the best of it. Elaine has worked her magic. We are surprised and delighted with the result. We took the opportunity to have the original glass replaced with a non-reflective UV resistant glass and this has further enhanced the picture.. What a professional outfit !

We recently had a figurine mounted and framed by Richard and the team. We love it! Richard helped me choose the mount and frame and made extremely helpful suggestions throughout. Moreover, Richard is so friendly and polite - it is a joy to visit. I cannot recommend the Gallery more highly!

I was very pleased indeed with the quality of the work done on two old family portraits. The standard of restoration was sympathetic, professional and a good deal of care was taken. In addition I had a French antique mirror re-guilded which was also done extremely well. Cannot recommend them highly enough and they have a super shopfront in Gosport.

Our oil painting was flaking and dirty. Richard did an excellent job in cleaning it and glueing down every prone flake. His expertise was most professional and is appreciated.
