Recommended for Museum Docents,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gilded Wood Conservation and History (Hardcover)
This book contains invaluable information for museuum docents whose presentations involve gilded objects of any kind. There are, for sure, technical discussions of the physics and chemistry of gilding, but these are the minority, and their presence should not deter. The history, process and restoration practices for gilding are carefully described in lucid prose. Emphasis is on English, European, and North American topics, with only the briefest mention of Spanish and inferential mention of colonial Spanish-American gilding, in religious or secular settings. This omission, of interest to docents in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas, in no way reduces the usefulness of the essays for them, or for others. Highly recommended.
