Reigniting Splendour: The Cleaning and Conservation of two Chinese Incense Burners

Saturday 15th March, 2008 - Sunday 16th November, 2008

Price: Admission Free

This fabulous pair of nineteenth-century Chinese incense-burners were conserved a few years ago in our Conservation workshops. Monumental in size, they are entirely covered in delicate cloisonné-enamel decoration which posed a number of challenging problems for the conservators. This exhibition will reveal how those challenges were met.

There will be a talk on this display on Tuesdays 5 August, 11 September and on Monday 6 October at 1pm
