Conservation of Furniture by Rivers & Umney

The book reviews the historical development of furniture as well as the uses and types of materials that might be
encountered, including wood, ivory, horn and metals. The book discusses the types of decorative surfaces like
paint, japanning, lacquer and gilding.
The nature and behaviour of these materials is explained and used for the basis to explore the mechanisms and
consequences of deterioration caused by the environment and use over time.

or collector interested in the best practice conservation methods available.
