I recently helped arrange a birthday surprise for a friend when he was on holiday. Armed with his flat keys, I removed two framed black and white photos of his great (?) grandparents from the livingroom and brought them to an art restorer around the corner. I have never been through this process before, but proprietor Tamas Nemes was friendly, polite and patient. The ancient black frames themselves had to be fixed, and gold leaf reapplied in some areas. There was no problem with the 2-week deadline when I explained they had to be back on the wall by the time my friend returned. The work was done well and on time, and from what I can tell, the price was also reasonable. Check out Tamas Nemes, Budapest, 5th district, Veres Palne u. 33 (entrance from Szarka u.).
