Abstract

"The restoration of a cupboard from the Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography Collection The cupboard is one of several staple pieces that are found in the traditional households across Romania. The 19th century cupboard was acquired by the Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography from Trip village, Satu Mare County in 2002. Long before its acquisition, the artefact was covered with a thick layer of paint which obstructed the original embellishments. The removal of the paint layer was deemed necessary as it devalued the cupboard from both a historical and an aesthetical perspective. The cleaning process was done slowly and gradually using chemical (dimethylformamide or DMF) as well as mechanical methods (spatula, scalpel). Keywords: cupboard, traditional, museum, restoration "
