Sculpture Conservation

Sculpture conservation is the process of preserving, repairing, and maintaining sculptures to ensure their longevity and stability. It involves assessing the sculpture's condition, identifying damage or deterioration caused by environmental factors, age, or handling, and then applying appropriate techniques to stabilize and sometimes restore it. Conservators use specialized methods and materials to clean, repair, or protect sculptures, all while respecting the original work. The goal is to maintain the sculpture’s historical and artistic integrity for future generations to enjoy.
