Thank you for taking the time to properly restore historical artifacts . Beautiful artist's works are worth preserving and appreciating no matter what the date.
Do your preparator conservation artists make a record of materials used for future conservationists if it should ever need further conservation as materials used may break down or deteriorate? I work in paleontology restoration, and we now make detailed material lists on restored pieces if further research or restoration is required to reverse our repairs. Fantastic restoration process it was fascinating.❤
Excellent, excellent, excellent !! ... restoration as it SHOULD have been done the first time. RU-vid has 'how-to" vids of half-ass restorations still being done the sloppy wrong way for museums by so called professionals. I will soon be restoring two 400 BC Greek kylexes that haven't been cleaned or messed up by any incompetent restorer. Both have broken bases and one handle. I would have made and attached the missing handles of hardened clay, but dental plaster will be much better. Same for the bases. I'll do the handles first in soft clay, make a two piece plaster-of-paris mold from the soft modeling clay, and cast them permanently in durable dental plaster, which can be cemented in place and painted to match the originals. Thank you Pagano Media. ... superb job and well presented.
1982 Classics Dept QU Queensland i started my study of how the vases were made. people don't understand the original paints are clays and there for do shrink when dry. even the slips are a devil to paint with . Ph is important. thank you ,
it looks very good! however I wonder if the process is reversible if future conservatists would choose to apply any different restoration method (just as done here)
