This text is a guide to looking after your most treasured possessions to help you identify the problems you may encounter. The emphasis is firmly on preventative care and day to day maintenance and the practical advice ranges from cleaning and storing precious objects to creating the best conditions for displaying them. The first part of the book explores different materials in depth so that whether your belongings are made of glass, ceramic, stone or textiles, the common sense approach ensures that there are clear instructions explaining how you can preserve them yourself, or when you need expert help - and how to find it. The second part looks in detail at specific objects, such as clocks and watches, kitchen bygones and natural history collections.
