Caring for Antiques: A Guide to Handling, Cleaning, Display, and Restoration
by Mette
Tang Simpson, Michael Huntley About this title: "A thing
of beauty is a joy for ever", but only if you care for it properly. All owners of
antiques or works of art should be aware that, without appropriate care and
attention, their prized possessions may be put at risk of damage and
deterioration that will invariably cause depreciation in value. Sotheby's
Caring for Antiques is the essential illustrated reference for everyone who
owns antiques and needs expert advice on their proper care and preservation.
Who better to give this advice than Sotheby's, the world's oldest and leading
fine arts auction house? Written by world-renowned conservators from Sotheby's
and other major institutions, this invaluable resource covers all types of
antiques, including furniture, paintings and prints, silver, jewelry, clocks,
textiles, ceramics, glass, metalwork, scientific instruments, books, carpets,
and sculpture. The most up-to-date advice is combined with a wealth of
photographic references; more than 150 color photographs are included.
Sotheby's Caring for Antiques offers accessible advice on the everyday
precautions that should be taken when handling, cleaning, storing, or
displaying your antiques, and also includes detailed instructions on how to
recognize a variety of conditions that may require attention, from discoloration
of a print to the structural deterioration of furniture and metalwork. In many
cases these problems may be arrested by the owner, but where the object appears
to be in jeopardy, advice is given about when to enlist the services of a
conservator or restorer, together with a broad outline of the remedies that
these professionals might be able to effect. Also included is a directory of
organizations concerned with the conservation and restoration of antiques of
all sorts. Sotheby's Caring for Antiques is an indispensable companion for all
owners of antiques. What is Included: 1 x Sotheby's Caring for Antiques Terms &
