🇬🇧 This has been a big challenge. I have bee 🇬🇧 This has been a big challenge.
I have been asked to restore a beautiful Chinese scroll painting on paper and silk in a very bad condition. The artwork showed previous repairs, paper was extremely fragile and the painting was badly damaged by water.
The intervention was focused on paper consolidation and the removal of water-stains to re-establish the aesthetic of the painting. 

🇮🇹 Questa é stata una bella sfida.
Mi è stato chiesto di restaurare un bellissimo  dipinto cinese in rotolo su carta e seta che versava in pessime condizioni. L'opera mostrava pregresse riparazioni, la carta era estremamente fragile e il dipinto era stato danneggiato dall'acqua.
L'intervento è stato finalizzato al consolidamento della carta e alla rimozione delle gore per ristabilire l'estetica del dipinto.
