\n Documentation as an Integral Part of Restoration Work <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Restorers bear a great deal of responsibility. This is because every restoration or conservation intervention alters the original historical condition of a piece of furniture or other culturally and historically significant object. <\/p>\n

For this reason, our conservators at ZRW Berlin prepare professional documentation of the objects undergoing conservation and the conservation measures we take.<\/p>\n

If you’d like, documentation of the furniture restoration can be included in your order.[\/vc_column_text]

\n Documentation of the Restoration: Changes to the Original Condition <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]Every restoration involves an intervention that irreversibly alters the original condition of a piece of furniture, an interior item, or any other wooden object. In this respect, we must always view wood restoration in Berlin<\/a> and furniture restoration in Berlin<\/a> as a controlled reconciliation of historical facts that cannot be reconstructed in this exact form. <\/p>\n

It is therefore crucial that we document the initial condition of the piece of furniture before restoration and provide a clear description of all measures and changes we undertake as part of the restoration or conservation of an object.[\/vc_column_text]
