This well referenced book provides an amply illustrated publication on upholstery conservation which discusses and reviews the issues related to the care; interpretation and treatment of upholstered furniture.Through many well illustrated case studies the inter-disciplinary collaboration fundamental to upholstery conservation; and the complex decision-making process involved in the treatment of upholstered furniture; are made evident. The case histories are contributed by leading international practitioners in the field and concern objects and collections in the care of English Heritage; the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other internationally renowned institutions.Likewise; the contributors; from both sides of the Atlantic; are world-renowned specialists and leaders in this area of conservation working for the public and private sectors. The case histories; illustrated in colour; black and white and specially prepared line drawings; concern object treatment and documentation; the conservation of information; the function and the artefact. They range from the documentation of eighteenth century removable chair covers and the treatment of a nineteenth century carriage to a twentieth century foam-filled chair belonging to a museum.
