Eighteenth century English style fan

Fan conservation is unusual in modern conservation practice as a bridge between paper conservation and organic conservation. This 18th century fan is made of ivory, with a paper leaf which has been decorated with a metallic foil. It has been conserved over a six month period.

The project aimed to separate and conserve 11 layers of historic wallpaper c.1850-1970. Pre-treatment analyses identified an arsenic-based pigment, Emerald Green, in the four earliest decorative papers, which had a fundamental impact on the treatment methodology. Archival research in historic wallpaper collections raised key questions about current potential health hazards.

The conservation of a C17th Gardening Manual in a way sympathetic to its use in a private collection. This involved evaluating the structure then replacing broken material and repair of fragile pages . This will ensure continued handling of the book. A missing page has been reprinted to complete the volume.

Ausin Osman Spare (1886 – 1956) was a visionary artist. Upon working on his paintings for my final project I wanted to stay as close as I could to the ideals of Spare. I endeavoured to carry out as little interventive conservation as possible while still staying true to the philosophy of the artist.
