The 17th century wood panelling

The armours Room and the cabinet are decorated with a painted wood paneling, dating back to the 17th century. This unique decors require urgent restorations !

On the paintings, we can see the influence of the Renaissance period : foliage patterns, medallions with landscapes, weapons, masks, allegories.... Mannerist overtones can be identified : profusion and accumulation of patterns, theatrical accommodations.

These decors have never been presented to the public, nor have they been restored.

Restoration works will be planned regarding the following needs : 
-  The wooden panels and the paint layers must be strengthened 
- Some wooden panels must be treated against parasites  
- The painted decors have to be cleaned 
- Paint flakes have to be fixed 
- Areas of paint loss will be repainted

As these decors have never been studied, you will help science to gain ground by participating to this operation.  
The restoration program  will give us the opportunity to study pigments, and paint layers stratigraphy. 
The results of this study will permit to know more about these decors, to restore them better and to preserve them better.
