Abstract

In this paper, conservation treatment processes for the wooden furniture in the Presidential Archives are introduced. Conservation treatment strategies for modern wooden cultural heritage have been increasingly studied. The current study uses materials similar to those used by the existing conservation treatment method. Material analysis showed that the chair(Lee136-2) and desk(Yun37) in the Presidential Archives are made of Dipterocarpaceae, and both are coated with two layers of varnishing. FT-IR analysis showed that the varnish has a similar spectrum to that of a nitrocellulose-based lacquer(Lee136-2) and top coat(Yun37) and confirmed that a synthetic material was used. Pollutants had adhered to the surface of the wooden furniture and it was also in structurally unstable condition because of cracks and damage to the varnish and wood. Therefore, a conservation treatment was carried out to restore the damaged areas to their original appearance using similar kinds of materials, based on data obtained by materials analysis.

본 논문은 대통령기록관에서 소장하고 있는 목가구의 보존처리 과정을 정리한 것으로, 최근 증가하고 있는 근 현대목제문화재에 대한 보존처리 방법과 기존의 보존처리 방법의 적용 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 재질분석 결과, 대통령기록관 소장 의자(이136-2)와 책상(윤37)은 이우시과의 수종으로 제작되었으며, 두 가구 모두 2개의 도료층이 확인되었다. FT-IR을 이용한 분석 결과 의자는 니트로셀룰로오스계 도료, 책상은 탑코트의 스펙트럼과 유사하여 합성재료를 사용한 것으로 확인되었다. 보존처리 전 목가구의 표면에는 이물질이 고착되어 있었고 도료와 목재의 갈라짐과 손상으로 인해 불안정한 상태이었다. 따라서 과학적 조사를 통해 얻은 자료를 바탕으로 유사한 재료를 이용하여 손상된 부분을 원형의 형태로 보존처리 하고자 하였다.
