| Environmental Design Proper care of furniture begins with understanding and appreciation of the unique characteristics of each piece of furniture within its surrounding environment. Properly maintained humidity, temperature, and light levels will go a long way towards keeping the condition of your objects stable, and will also increase their serviceable life. Increasingly, sophisticated private collections seek to recreate the same ideal conditions found in museums. We recommend, monitor and direct the installation of temperature and humidity control systems. Environmental control systems can vary significantly, depending upon the objects in your collection. For example, a collection of gilded furniture would require different environmental conditions than a collection of pastel drawings. |
