Brown, Steve R, 2013, Conference or Workshop, New Technologies for Restoration: The Meissen fountain project at Making Futures III, Plymouth College of Art, 26–27 September 2013.
Abstract or Description: | Brown delivered the paper ‘New technologies for restoration: The Meissen fountain project’ at ‘Making Futures 3’, a conference hosted by Plymouth College of Art in September 2013. Brown describes the restoration of a historically significant porcelain table fountain made during the mid-18th century at the Meissen factory. The fountain, acquired by the V&A Museum in 1870, has 11 missing elements, which Brown and Professor Martin Smith (RCA) are in the process of recreating with support from members of the V&A conservation team (2012–14). The reconstructed fountain will be displayed in the V&A’s ‘New Europe 1600–1800’ galleries in 2014. |
