See a specialist.
And how did you can "spoil", I wonder?
What?

Well not stored properly can somehow think may framed under glass should spryatat.restavrirovat probably expensive, I'm not ready to substantial costs.

roma79roma, the icon "hide" in Kyoto, and I fear for his production of such horizontal icon you will be more expensive restoration, which, if you want this thing to leave yourself, better yet make
.

and even scary to give suddenly spoil. etozh need to find someone with a reputation for good, don `t know whether there are in Adygea.

In Maicon not know, but, for example, in Krasnodar, Stavropol should be.

and the approximate price of prompt restoration? hotjaby vskidku

The cost of restoration is an icon, I do not skzhu - not today's topic prices.

You ask this question to a Moderator of this section Arcadia - here.

Save a snap - no need to do anything with it , including to restore the icon does not need it , especially given the current location it . " Assumption of the Virgin " , con. 19th century, written by Athos samples , but hardly on Mount Athos, rather in a workshop on some of its farmsteads in Russia.

In Rostov good restorers in terms of writing faces, gilding, no recovery.
About Maikop and Krasnodar also heard.
If you simply strengthen and wash it can, but no more.

Listen to what the experts say you !
Do not need to do anything with it !
It's like in chess - " zugzwang " - position in checkers and chess, where every move leads to a deterioration of the position .
Any restoration will worsen - believe me .
