Conservation is particularly interested in what we term the Modern
Classics. These items are often in need of treatment, and we are concerned
that owners understand that they should be treated authentically, and by
appropriate conservators. We have written an article on this subject, which
can be accessed here:
The Case
for the Conservation of Modern Objects.
Case Studies of Modern Classics are shown, below:
 |
TWO WASSILY CHAIRS BY MARCEL BREUER (PDF):
A modern family heirloom, these Wassily chairs have their original leather
strapping. The strapping back, arms and seats needed to be repaired and
reinforced.. |
 |
LUNSTEAD COPPER TABLE (PDF): A family
collects modern pieces, and several serious deep scratches and many small
scuff and scratches dulled the finish on this copper table. MPFC buffed
the scratches, and appropriately protected the copper table top from further
scratches. |
 |
MODERN
BRAZIL WOOD DESK &
CREDENZA PDF): A family with a
collection of modern classics had this family desk from the
grandfather's office, badly bleached by sun and caustic
cleanings agents, plus dings and other abrasions. The
grain was open. Additionally, he was in a wheelchair
and they wanted the desk modified without damaging it to
allow for his chair to fit. |
 |
2002 EGG CHAIR BY ARNE JACOBSON (PDF COMING SOON): A modern family
heirloom, this early Egg Chair was destroyed by a bad upholsterer who drilled
holes through the back and placed buttons to hold the cream fabric in place.
MPFC restored the piece to its original condition using conservation
techniques, and using approved upholstery. |
