If these paintings are valuable to you, don't even try to repair them ! Older paintings may be painted with paint that modern materials will mar or disfigure. I'd advise taking them to an art or antique store and getting their advice. A few Years ago my daughter found 2 old paintings in the attic of a house she was renovating and decided to clean them up. She was an amateur artist and thought it was simple ,but soon realised she had problems. On taking them to a well known art store she found these were over 200 years old and worth about $2,000 each -except for the one she had started to 'fix' - it was now worth only 300.
