Imitation Timber Graining
Decorating joinery with imitation wood grain in oil or distemper created the impression that common timber was of a higher quality and added pattern and richness to an interior. Architectural paint researcher Lisa Oestreicher explores the history, tools and techniques of timber graining, a surprisingly common form of embellishment now often hidden beneath later decorative schemes.
The underlying reasons behind damage to public monuments can be more complex than straightforward theft or mindless vandalism. Here monuments conservator Lucy Branch examines the motivations and wider context of this kind of heritage crime, and how understanding them can lead to more effective guardianship.
