Selene, Dear Selena, the main professional restorer (otherwise, the icon just spoil).
Unfortunately a huge number of icons, which restored immediately in the church (being renovated), were simply destroyed as art objects, and irretrievably lost. (Pictorial layer, such as 15-16 century, simply washed away in the 19 century, and "duff", golden, done handsome salaries from the dredges. metal, but at the same time destroyed the painting, almost entirely).

Eugene, thanks for the warning, she was thinking about this with a shudder.: Eek: I am of course aware that, for restoration work in addition to other needs and special knowledge and skills ...: confused: Of course, if you apply, the specialized shops and only recommendations.
Yes, perhaps, and sostonie our icons like normal, if only slightly refurbish, remove soot and oil, minor scratches and chipped paint over ... You can wait with the restoration of 100-150 years, and we'll see)) Thanks again.
