Martino Conservation

Martino Conservation is a privately owned studio based in Amsterdam, specializing in the care and restoration of wooden and organic objects. The studio works with both private collectors and museums, offering tailored conservation treatments—from condition assessments and preventive care to full restorations—while preserving the integrity and cultural significance of each object.

Owner Kirby Martino brings an academic and hands-on background in fine art, art history, and conservation, with a particular passion for painted and gilded wood, ethnographic objects, and natural history collections. This combined expertise allows for a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach that honors the material, historical, and aesthetic value of every piece.

It is a privilege to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage and to care for such remarkable objects. Martino Conservation adheres to the professional standards and ethical principles of Restauratoren Nederland and the International Council of Museums (ICOM).
