This liberally illustrated volume contains discussions not only by members of the public sector but also those working to conserve objects belonging to private collectors. With differing perspectives from both groups, the book looks at the technical and ethical aspects of conservation of decorative objects, including the restoration of decorated tin-glazed tiles, window dressings, straw-work objects, wallpaper, chandeliers, wood marquetry and specific discussions on a mid-eighteenth-century dollhouse, the furniture in Bevis Marks Synagogue and other decorative forms.
