Period Design + Exhibit Design
MPF Conservation is happy to assist house museums or private clientele with period appropriate design for exhibits, period houses and other historical buildings.
A recent public design project was the NPS Crater Lake Science and Learning Center, which had a complete set of Imperial Monterey furnishings which MPFC conserved and restored as the basis for the design project. The historical Superintendent's house is now a working museum for scientists and students, 
and so pieces had to be affordable and in keeping with the period, but, other than the Imperial furniture, were not authentic items from the era.
The dollars budgeted for the dinnerware, draperies, accessories and carpets was modest. 
MPFC found items to satisfy the design criteria + budget, which can be seen in the slide show on the Imperial Monterey Sofa, and in photos below, without stepping outside the financial constraints of the National Park Service's budget.
Items procured and/or created included drapes, iron drapery rods, reproduction donor plaque, rugs, plates, runners, pillows (both for the furniture and floor pillows to sit on), throws, lamps, and accessories.

We can research and procure period appropriate pieces or
point a homeowner in the right direction.
MPFC also will custom design + build reproduction pieces for visitor use or to match pieces. We also create period appropriate slipcovers and draperies.
