mosaic conservation

Mosaic conservation is the careful preservation and restoration of mosaic artworks, which are images created by assembling small pieces of stone, glass, or ceramic. This process involves stabilizing the existing materials, repairing damaged sections, and sometimes conserving the surrounding environment to prevent further deterioration. The goal is to maintain the original visual and structural integrity of the mosaic while respecting its historical significance. Conservators use specialized techniques to ensure that the artwork remains stable and legible for future generations, balancing preservation with minimal intervention to retain as much of the original craftsmanship as possible.
