Rebecca recently graduated from the University of Lincoln with a Masters in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, specialising in decorative surfaces, historic interiors and high-value heritage objects. She has worked with organisations including the National Trust, Tate and Lincoln Conservation, undertaking condition assessments, conservation treatments, risk evaluations and preventive care within nationally significant collections, historic properties and private collections.
Her projects have included the conservation of seventeenth-century East Asian Coromandel lacquer furniture at Ham House, the restoration of an eighteenth-century giltwood picture frame for Tate’s Turner and Constable 250 exhibition, and the uncovering of suspected William Kent wall paintings at Stowe House.
Rebecca recently joined McLarens as a Claims Technician and is training towards a career as a Conservation Specialist Loss Adjuster. Drawing on her background in heritage conservation, she brings specialist knowledge of historic materials and their vulnerabilities, with particular expertise in the remedial treatment of furniture, picture frames, gilding, East Asian lacquer, painted surfaces, architectural finishes and traditional heritage crafts. She is keen to apply this experience to the assessment and management of heritage, fine art and high-net-worth losses.
