What's Special About This @metmuseum Mount?

Опубликовано 20 января 2025, 15:00

When deciding how to display an 18th century powder horn and a 19th century shoulder strap, the artifacts' curator and mount maker at @metmuseum had quite the challenge: How could they make the two pieces dynamic and exciting while still making sure they are well preserved? Managing conservation preparator Frederick Sager of @metmuseum's Department of Objects Conservation explains how he and his colleague achieved what they feel is the best balance between aesthetics, engineering and conservation.
