“Brandon’s presentation will cover some of the most interesting furniture in Maine that his studio has conserved over the past decade, highlighting the best that Maine cabinetmakers have produced as well as remarkable pieces ‘from away’ that now are in Maine,” an SPI release states. “Antique and modern objects, created from the 17th to the 20th centuries, will be shown, including some by artists who are still living and working in Maine.”
Brandon is the owner of East Point Conservation Studio in Brunswick. He is a graduate of the Smithsonian Conservation Training Program and also trained at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston for two years.
He has more than 25 years in private conservation practice, and has done work for such institutions as the National Park Service, the U.S. Treasury, and Colonial Williamsburg, as well as for the MFA, the Paul Revere House, the Maine State Museum and the Portland Museum of Art.
Brandon is former chairman of the New England Conservation Association, and has also served as a trustee of SPI.
