PRESERVATION OF WALLPAPERS AS PARTS OF INTERIORS

Methodological conclusions
criteria, such as the physical, historical and aesthetic properties
of the object, as well as the expectations of its owner and his/
her financial capabilities.
Since conservation treatment may alter certain qualities of a
wallpaper and its current condition, it is important to document
the object, its properties and the whole conservation treatment
in detail. In addition to the descriptions and analyses of each
research object and conservation conceptions, a documentation
form was developed to allow for more detailed recording of a
historic wallpaper.
As a result of the thesis research, one can conclude that
through a combination of conscious and consistent actions,
more historic wallpapers can be preserved in interiors and the
historic aesthetic unity of various rooms can be preserved or
re-created. To offer a larger and richer range of historic interiors
for future generations, more attention should be given to
thorough research on paper wall covers and options should be
sought to preserve them as parts of interiors. Greater versatility
in decorative materials in interiors offers a greater variety of
visual pleasure and education. The preservation concepts used
on the eight objects have shown this potential.
