Restoration techniques

Restoration techniques refer to methods used to return something—such as a building, artifact, or artwork—to its original condition or to preserve it for the future. This can involve cleaning, repairing, or reconstructing damaged areas while maintaining the item's historical integrity. Techniques vary depending on the material and context, ranging from gentle cleaning methods to more intensive repairs. Experts often use specialized tools and materials that match the original, ensuring that any restoration work is both effective and respectful of the item's history, enhancing its longevity and cultural significance.
