This book studies the composition, structure and properties of natural materials such as wood, paper, amber, coral and feathers, and discusses the potential hazards they face, as well as the appropriate conservation techniques to use for each. Providing plenty of detail in an easily accessible format, Natural Materials is a useful resource for students, professionals and collectors alike. 606 $aNatural products$xConservation and restoration 606 $aMuseum conservation methods 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNatural products$xConservation and restoration. 615 0$aMuseum conservation methods. 676 $a069.53 700 $aDeMouthe$b Jean Frances.$0778353 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457684003321 996 $aNatural Materials$91689553 997 $aUNINA
