CONSERVATION OF AN EARLY ROMANESQUE STONE CORBEL FROM THE LATE 11TH / EARLY 12TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents work undertaken by a conservator-restorer, beginning with historical research, analysis of the type and origin of stone, colour and lichen, and the following phases of mechanical cleaning and instruction for storage of a stone corbel. The stone corbel is the property of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul convent in Split. It was transferred from the convent to the Department of Restoration and Conservation of Stone at the University of Split’s Academy of Arts so it could be cleaned and conserved. Classical conservation methods were used: dry cleaning with scalpels, chisel, steel wire brush, fungicide, ultrasonic needle, and pressure steam. Finally, the authors suggest how to safely store the Early Romanesque stone corbel.
