Decorative Art Objects Laboratory

Treatments from this lab can be innovative and often use new technology and materials to repair and compensate for losses in artifacts. This laboratory treats decorative arts and historic objects including glass, ceramics, stone, metal, and ivory as well as composites including gilded pieces. The lab has treated porcelains which belonged to Robert E. Lee and Bartholdi’s original plaster model of the Statue of Liberty.
