How far do we go? The dichotomies between Furniture Restoration and Conservation!
Can somebody help me? The meaning of both is very confusing for me!
“Restoration is action taken to make deteriorated or damaged artefacts understandable with minimal sacrifice of aesthetic and historic integrity.”
“Conservation is the means by which the true nature of an object is preserved. The true nature of an object includes evidences of its origins, its original construction, the material of which it is composed and information as to the technology used in its manufacture. Subsequent modifications may be of such a significant nature that they should be preserved.”
It would be nice if somebody could clarify it a bit more for me.
