The restoration of furniture, stained glass, sculpture, and ceramics involves such techniques as replacing lost or broken elements from chairs and tables and substituting lost pieces of stained glass in a window; gluing broken pots or other ceramics together; |
|
Architectural restoration can involve stabilizing a building's foundation or structural elements through the use of concrete and of metal rods; repairing and waterproofing sections of a building that have been damaged by water or dampness; |
|
Sculpture restoration is a burgeoning field of activity, mostly because the moisture-bound pollutants in the air of urban or industrialized areas tend to attack and dissolve the surfaces of stone sculptures. Restoration and conservation involve first
cleaning the stone and then applying certain chemicals to it that
waterproof and strengthen the stone. |
