(Español) ESCULTURA ORIENTAL

Today we have been in Mijas village, doing commercial visits, as every Friday, and he has been an onlooker, because in one of the trades they have asked us if we restore sculptures and if when we join several torn parts, the brands are obvious or if they can be hidden.

This me has resembled a restoration that we did one year ago, when we initiate the workshop. A work that still not habiamos published. It is a question of an oriental feminine sculpture, of stucco, that it has an important sentimental value for his owner, Conchi, because it was a gift of weddings does already almost 45 years. Today we are going to tell you the steps that we follow for his restoration.

The figure have a precarious condition of conservation, because many zones, especially the most salient, habian rotate and they had lost his volume, as as the zone of the face, the nose and the mouth or the zone of the basket, as the flowers. In other zones it had lost of color, the escoyola being seen. Also there was a general loss of the sheen of the piece, due to the passage of time, the dirt, etc.
