Inhalt:
"Conservation of Twentieth-Century Furniture provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of the materials and techniques that are encountered in furniture of this century. After putting the design, manufacture, and conservation of twentieth-century furniture into context, the volume then offers an A-Z of materials organised into twelve chapters. Within each chapter a wide variety of material types are discussed, observed, analysed, and contextualised, and a list of further sources is provided. The furniture discussed in this book ranges from designer craftsman, individually made pieces, to factory-produced batch items, and includes cabinet work, decoration, surface finishes and upholstery, observing the traditional repertoire of materials, as well as innovative materials and processes introduced over the course of this century. Following the material chapters, the book also includes brief case studies that illustrate some examples of twentieth-century furniture conservation, with a focus on metal, plastic, and wood. Conservation of Twentieth-Century Furniture is the primary resource for those working on the manufacture, history, and care of furniture of this period, including conservators, curators, dealers, and collectors"--
