Conservation of FurnitureRoutledge, 2003 - 803 pages This volume covers the principles and practice of the conservation and restoration of furniture and other decorative art objects made wholly or partly of wood. It provides information and guidance over the full range of work a professional furniture conservator may need to carry out. A major aim of the book is to integrate theory with practice, to show the principles which govern interaction between wooden objects, the environmental and conservation treatments and the factors which need to be taken into account to arrive at acceptable solutions to conservation problems. |
