This well referenced book provides an amply illustrated publication
on upholstery conservation which discusses and reviews the issues
related to the care, interpretation and treatment of upholstered
furniture.
Through many well illustrated case studies the inter-disciplinary
collaboration fundamental to upholstery conservation, and the
complex decision-making process involved in the treatment of
upholstered furniture, are made evident. The case histories are
contributed by leading international practitioners in the field and
concern objects and collections in the care of English Heritage,
the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
other internationally renowned institutions.
Likewise, the contributors, from both sides of the Atlantic, are
world-renowned specialists and leaders in this area of conservation
working for the public and private sectors. The case histories,
illustrated in colour, black and white and specially prepared line
drawings, concern object treatment and documentation, the
conservation of information, the function and the artefact. They
range from the documentation of eighteenth century removable chair
covers and the treatment of a nineteenth century carriage to a
twentieth century foam-filled chair belonging to a museum.
* Principles and practice are demonstrated through a series of case
histories
* Provides a common vocabulary and point of reference across the
conservation disciplines
* Includes contributions from world-renowned specialists from the
public and private sectors
