Résumé : |
The early work on the conservation of leather objects of historic and artistic value will be reviewed and it will be shown that this was based on techniques developed for the preservation of bookbindings. The essential differences between conservation, restoration and replication will be defined and the place of each of these in the preservation of our cultural heritage will be discussed. The skills and knowledge required of modern scientific based professional conservators will be analysed. Recent research carried out at the Leather Conservation Centre into two very different aspects of the preservation of leather objects will be summarised. Examples of some of the practical conservation projects undertaken at the Centre will be shown to illustrate the ubiquity of leather in historic collections and the wide range of techniques employed to preserve this specialist sector of our heritage. |
