Paper, Parchment and Silk. The Use of Controlled Wetting Applied to Three Restoration Cases

Abstract

We present three cases of heritage objects which have been restored at the Centro Tarea. ese pieces, which are composed by a multiplicity of materials, call for an eventual complex and delicate intervention. Their stands, consisting of various organic materials, share some qualities which determine its behaviour when confronted with humidity. Consequently, during any phase of the treatment of each of the works, we applied similar methodologies relating to humidification techniques.
