Workshop of the Sun is a distinguished studio specializing in the meticulous conservation and restoration of painted works-canvases, murals, objects, contemporary artifacts, works on paper, and gilded surfaces. Their expertise extends throughout Île-de-France and beyond. With nearly two decades of experience, the studio brings unruly or aged artworks back to life with careful craftsmanship and dedication.

The Atelier is run by a passionate, multidisciplinary team of conservators-some now leading the studio after joining in the late 2000s-who honor the objects they handle as timeless testaments to human creativity. By appointment only, the studio invites art lovers to witness the delicate restoration process firsthand.
