glenn,

i was right with you on this... whether it was signed, or a certificate was issued and signed by the restorer, stating what work and repairs were done, restore, paper repalcement or fills, etc. . this document, like an appraisal, would go with the piece, were it ever sold, like one includes when selling a work of fine art.

i do recall you had a number of silly replies in the negative. one dealer even talked of the difficulty of SEWING on a tag to the linen.. who ever talked about that kind of method?

i still think this is a sound and logical idea. makes total sense.

If anyone would care to re-read it....

It seemed to me most people were against the idea...

Not that I'm a genius or anything but it's interesting to see what a difference 2 months can make...

Subject: [MOPO] Should restorers sign their work?

What are the pros and cons of restorers signing their work?

Would it add or subtract from the value of a piece?

It would be easier to do with paper items, a simple rubber stamp of some kind. I suppose it could be done the same on linen.

Years go by and you wonder, who did the work on this piece.

Your thoughts?
