The conservation and restoration work on cultural
goods becomes necessary as a direct operation, if
they are under the attack of external elements that
damage their structure and appearance. Today, the
application of preventive conservation is favored
as a first criterion, avoiding direct operation; however,
the object’s stabilization should not be
ignored, especially when optimal storage conditions
are not available.
