Before a sculpture is sold or shipped
Create a record of visible condition, geometry, identifying details, and file organization before transfer.
Before change scenarios
The best time to document is often before a move, repair, sale, storage decision, claim event, or restoration process changes the available evidence.
Create a record of visible condition, geometry, identifying details, and file organization before transfer.
Document selected items before storage, sale, donation, or family distribution changes context.
Capture surface details, inscriptions, geometry, and current visible condition before intervention.
Build clearer records that may support conversations with insurance professionals.
Record carved, molded, or built details before repair changes visible evidence.
Create a reference record before access becomes harder or condition changes during handling.
Document the visible before-state so future viewers understand what changed.
Provide visual and 3D references where appropriate for planning, reproduction, or discussion.
Have a before-change situation?
If an object, site, collection, artwork, monument, estate item, heritage detail, or professional decision context may change soon, send a short description. Include the location, timeline, intended use, and whether another professional is involved.
Wessmark Studio will review whether documentation is useful and which package may be the best starting point.
How to start
Send a short description of the object, site, collection, or situation. Include where it is located, what may happen next, your timeline, the intended use of the records, and whether a restorer, appraiser, insurer, estate professional, municipality, gallery, architect, fabricator, or other professional is involved.
