I just attended the Midwest Region Conservation Guild meeting.  There was a good talk on the conservation of various types of miniatures.
I would suggest you contact the presenter of that talk, Cecile Mear, Conservator at the Cincinnai Art Museum, [log in to unmask].

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Ivory Miniatures

 

Hello all:

 

I am working on a collection that contains ivory miniatures.  They are framed and date to the early 1900s.  Are there any tips on preservation or a certain method used for these paintings?  I'm interested in storage and display options.

 

Thanks for any help.
