大英博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (大英博物館Instagram)「It took over 250 hours to complete the conservation treatment on this 18th-century set of samurai armour ⚔ Swipe to see some pictures of the process! During the Edo period (1615–1868), Japan was largely at peace, so armour was more for ceremonial occasions than for battle. This example is a decorative ensemble of finely crafted materials, including metal, lacquer, textile, leather and horn. Each of these materials presented different challenges for the conservation team. Follow the story of its painstaking treatment with Conservator Tania Desloge, from initial inspection to remounting and display in the Mitsubishi Corporation Japanese Galleries via the link in our bio. 🔎 Conservator Tania Desloge during installation of the object. 🔎 Tania performing a surface clean of the helmet to remove unwanted dust with a brush and museum vacuum. 🔎 Senior Textiles Conservator Katy Smith adjusting pads for the heavy lacquered skirt. 🔎 Samurai armour and helmet.
