Join Royal Collection Trust experts Francesca Levey (Arms and Armour Conservator) and Michelle Kirk (Furniture Conservator) as they discuss the conservation treatments used to prepare items for display in an exhibition. Although the items in question – yari (Japanese spears) and a French roll-top desk – were alike in terms of decoration and deterioration, the treatment of the pieces was very different. Francesca and Michelle will share the various challenges they faced and the differing ways they approached the care and conservation of these precious items.
