A unique book showing how conservators and scientists can work
together to develop new methods in the restoration of art and
artefacts. Before the 1970s, most information concerning the
conservation and restoration of paintings, wood, and archaeological
artefacts were focused on the history of the artefacts, previous
attempts of conservation, and the future use of these artefacts.
The technical methods of how the restoration and conservation were
made were dealt with only very briefly. Today however,
sophisticated methods of scientific analysis such as DNA are common
place, and this encourages conservators and scientists to work
together to share the development of new methods for analysis and
conservation of artefacts. This book focuses on the chemicals used
for conservation and restoration of various artefacts in artwork
and archaeology, as well as special applications of these
materials. Also, the methods for cleaning, conserving and
restoring, as well as the methods for the analysis of the state of
the respective artefacts, are described and detailed. Topics
include oil paintings, paper conservation, textiles and dyes,
archaeological wood, fossils, stones, metals and metallic coins, as
well as glasses, including church windows. Audience Conservators
and restorers in museums as well as chemists and physicists who are
interested to use their scientific methods for the analysis and
conservation of artefacts.
