The front wall of the Father Serra Chapel at Mission San Juan Capistrano, CA is a very detailed, sculpted in wood, wonderfully gilt ‘retablo’ that was created in a workshop in Seville, Spain about 150 years before the mission was built. For the next two weeks, Fine Art Conservation Laboratories (FACL) will be preserving, restoring, protecting this important part of the the most famous of the The 21 Missions of California.

The monumental crucifixion, painted in 1800, was a wonderful art conservation project some years ago.

Previous restorations utilized inferior quality materials that have tarnished and the Mission is looking to ‘restore the sparkle’ of this gorgeous ‘wow’ factor of the mission, especially for the holidays arrive. More on this as the project progresses.

The tabernacle that sits on the main later in front of the Retablo

The art conservation treatments for gilding on the tabernacle, the main alter and the 6 candlestick holders are still to be scheduled. Contact the Mission Executive Director if you would like to participate in the wonderful historic preservation work that will benefit our future generations with these devotional objects.

Previously, FACL has had in the lab for stabilization, restoration and preservation the 4'-5' carved wooden and painted statues that are in the niches and on the wall pedestals in the front of the chapel. Also, the monumental crucifixion, painted in 1800, was a wonderful art conservation project some years ago.

At the moment in our lab,, Fine Art Conservation Laboratories is also working on and consulting about artifacts and art from the Santa Barbara Mission and Mission San Luis Obispo.
