CARE AND REPAIR OF ANTIQUES Jackson, Albert; Day, David 1998 931878R Brand New book. You may be scrupulous about polishing the family silver and keeping the Stickley sideboard waxed, but do you know how to repair a separated book spine, cast a replacement head for a lead soldier, or rebind a Turkish carpet? This heavily illustrated guide gives practical advice on mending, cleaning, and conserving objects made from paper, metal, ceramics, glass, wood, textiles, plastic, and semi-precious materials. More than 450 color drawings, diagrams, and photographs illustrate collectibles (rather than rare antiques) from Victorian times to the 1950s, showing care and repair techniques from practicing restorers and conservators in step-by-step detail. The book gives advice on where to buy antiques, what to look for, mounting, displaying collections, recommendations for storage, & perhaps most importantly, clear advice on when to enlist professional advice!
