A New NEDCC Story ***************** Chinese Export Wallpaper at Jekyll Island's Mistletoe Cottage - Part 1 In January 2019, a team of three conservators and one collections photographer from NEDCC arrived at Jekyll Island off the coast of southern Georgia to begin a multi-phase project to preserve Chinese export wallpaper installed on the ceiling of one of the island's historic homes. The project would encompass three phases: First, onsite removal and rehousing of bamboo framework and wallpaper panels installed on the ceiling; second, treatment of a single wallpaper panel at NEDCC; and third, digital imaging, digital restoration, and printing reproductions of the wallpaper for installation in place of the originals. Part 1: Wallpaper De-installation and Conservation Treatment The wallpaper covered the entire ceiling of the conservatory and was adorned by a latticework of shellacked bamboo rods nailed in place over the paper. Learn how NEDCC conservators and the collections photographer tackled the challenges of this complex decision-making, de-installation, and conservation treatment project, and learn about their creative solutions at each step along the way.
