Hydrogen peroxide is used to restore the colour of old oil paintings containing lead oxide.

When an oil painting is constantly exposed to the atmosphere, the traces of hydrogen sulphide gas present in the atmosphere slowly blackens the painting by converting lead oxide (white) to lead sulphide (black).
