CONVENTIONAL WISDOM HOLDS THAT the older and more expensive the vehicle, the more expertise required
to care for and maintain it. Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Porsche owners accept this obligation as they receive the
keys to their dream automobiles; an expected sacrifice for the privilege of owning one of the finest products in
the world.
Of course, much of this upkeep is covered under warranty, and few will own their chosen chariots for
decades—much less centuries. However, such is the challenge faced by Laney and Gordon Lewis, owners of the
Fine Arts Conservancy. Preserving near-priceless works of art takes an immense amount of time, effort, and
resources, because—as any amateur collector quickly learns—condition is everything.
