CONSERVATION PROCESS

Analysis

An infra-red image being looked at by a conservator

    Studying an object is an essential  part of the work of a conservator.  As well as being allowing decisions to be made regarding the most appropriate form of treatment, techniques such as X-ray and infra-red photography and sampling can reveal much about the origins of a piece, and help with attribution to a particular date or place of production, and even individual artist.
