| Abstract: | The subject of this thesis is the preservation of the wall covering of the Scherbenzimmer in Loosdorf Castle from the early 19th century. It is the original assembly of eight related wall panels, consisting of a construction of anchored blind mouldings, a linen ground, the display side made of silk and a framing. An examination of the history of the interior emphasises the former appreciation of the originally radiant blue, patterned silk. Today´s appearance is very faded and characterised by major losses. Through scientific and technological investigations, the inventory and condition of the wall covering are recorded. The concept discusses various approaches to the conservation of wall coverings in order to implement selected measures on a sample area. The focus here is on stitching support. |
