BIO
Anastazia Bromovsky is a conservator specialising in stone, wood,
gilding and decorative surfaces. She has worked with historic collections
and institutions including Guildhall Art Gallery,
National Trust Conservation Studios, Eton College and
Chatsworth House, as well as with private collectors in the UK and
abroad.
Her approach is grounded in the conservation ethic of minimal
intervention and a respect for original craftsmanship, with the aim
of preserving an object’s character, material integrity and history,
while allowing its unique journey and accumulated history to remain
visible. She believes that the marks of time, previous interventions and
changes to an object can form an important part of its story and
should be considered carefully when determining the appropriate treatment.
Anastazia works closely and sympathetically with owners and collectors, taking the time to understand both the object and its place within a collection. Her work ranges from stabilising structures and decorative surfaces to conservation cleaning, repair and the assessment of display and environmental conditions, with the aim of preventing further deterioration. She uses conservation-grade materials and, where appropriate, traditional techniques to achieve treatments that are sympathetic, considered and designed for long-term stability.
With a strong interest in traditional craft and historic materials, Anastazia is passionate about contributing to the preservation of cultural history through the care of objects and collections. Her work combines practical craftsmanship with a considered, ethical approach to conservation.
Before graduating with a BA (Hons) in Conservation Studies from City & Guilds of London Art School in 2021, Anastazia worked within the contemporary art world in events, administration and research. Her previous experience includes work with Lisson Gallery, T J Boulting Gallery, a-i-r: Art Ideas Realised cultural advisors, and the Ottoman Collection.
