Dario Casadei's Vintage Movie Art

edited May 2014 in Professional Restorers
Dario is located in Vancouver BC Canada and has been restoring posters for 15 years. An avid collector for 25 years gives him that slight edge when it comes to restoration. I've been sending all my precious paper since Jan 2012, never once have I been disappointed with his results. I highly recommend him.

  • I remember the poster well Matt, it was a great job by Dario. Of course he is my favoured restorer. 

    My first two were a few years ago, I paid a $1.25 for the posters, a lot more for the restoration - they are framed and on my wall.

  • They look great indeed! David that Lolita daybill looks like it changed colour after resto, or is that just the photo?
  • A little of both - it was very dirty, no doubt the bleach bath lightened up a little.

    The first is shot with my camera and the second with Dario's
  • In the first photo the colour is aqua blue and second photo is sort of light blue. Could be just different cameras. Regardless looks like a fine job by dario! 
  • Nice David.
  • Hey Guys,

    Thanks for this tread and kind words.Much appreciated!

    I do remember Gilda and Lolita. Two great pieces with right amount of issues to fix.

    Regarding Lolita. If you look closely you can see how heavy foxed over the paper is, especially bottom half of the poster. So with all the washing/chemicals and so on, it certainly brighten things up a bit.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend,
    dario.

  • Ok guys, post the Daybills you are thinking about sending D for his DDDDDDDdDdDdDdd...
  • Thanks Charlie and the rest of the boys.

    First class!

    If I get time to pull them out then I would be sending these:

    This one I am quite fond of, Esther Williams was a sweetheart, it would look great framed and I like my framed posters to be backed.

    Raquel - say no more.

  • Needs for attention to the the top where it looks like a snipe was removed. Wonder what the snipe was?
