Talk:Conservation and restoration of lacquerware

[Untitled]
Kendall - I am so intrigued by your project. For one of my “favorite” conservation projects, I found the Mazarin Chest at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The museum’s conservation blog/page gives really specific info (including videos) of the restoration and the idea of collaboration between Eastern conservators and Western ideas of museology. I highly suggest using that as a resource (though I’m not sure how you’d cite all the pieces exactly). It also made me aware that one of the issues of lacquer conservation is the removal of previous repairs. I think it would be a cool idea to add a “Case Study” or “Prominent Example” section and use the Mazarin Chest as an example. I would also add “prior conservation” as a type of deterioration. In general, this obviously fits the criteria for an article and I’m really looking forward to your final page. Here’s the V&A source - http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/c/conservation-of-the-mazarin-chest/ - Kim

Kendall, It seems like you have a very tangible source list to work with and it really looks like you put some time into the outline. I like that you divided preventative conservation out. Sometimes the preventative care is different than a treatment you would use for restoration. The separation allows you to go more in depth about the different kinds of conservation that may take place and also gives you another way to use your resources! Overall, I think you've done a very good job and have a solid backbone for the article. Sarah — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramseysarah94 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
