| Abstract: | Baroque cabinets often represent outstanding works of craftsmanship. The so-called “Cabinet of Prince Eugene” consists of a wooden body and is decorated with silver figures and tortoiseshell. The diploma thesis deals with the varied history of the cabinet. A condition survey as well as a detailed examination of the object’s construction and different scientific analyses clarify the materials and techniques used and form the basis for establishing a restoration and conservation plan. The main focus lies on the consolidation of tortoiseshell and the reduction of the corrosion affecting the silver figures. The practical implementation is undertaken as a treatment model. To ensure the long-term preservation of the object, a concept for display and storage is elaborated. |
