This book is a comprehensive resource covering the principles and practices of furniture preservation and restoration. An overview of the historical development of furniture presents a wide range of structural types and materials that may occur, including timber, ivory, turtle, horn and metals, as well as decorative surfaces such as paint, varnish and gilding. The nature and behavior of these materials are explained and used as a basis for studying the mechanisms and consequences of environmental degradation and use.
