원주역사박물관 소장 근⋅현대 목칠공예품의 재질분석 및 보존처리

Abstract

This study is consisted of analyzing materials and conservation treatment relating modern wooden lacquered craftworks. The subjects are small wooden lacquered tables, two are ‘Seokryumuntongyeongban’ and ‘Seokryumungujokban’ made by Lee Hyung Man (intangible culural asset, lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearl) and one is ‘Najeonchilghi-nanjukmunsang’ estimated to be crafted in the late Joseon Dynasty. As a result of wood species identification, the leg of ‘Seokryumungujokban’ is Diospyros spp. and the leg of ‘Najeonchilghi-nanjukmunsang’ is Abies spp. And the lacquered surfaces are made up various overlapped layers from the foundation layer to the coating layer. Using the results of research, applied conservation treatment to the craftworks. Cleaning, joining and restoration was proceeded causiously in the order using several natural materials not injuring the original parts. Specially many holes in upperside of ‘Najeonchilghi-nanjukmunsang’ were found through X-ray radiography. The upperside was too weak to stand much stress so focusing on the restoration only the surface. This is expected to be basic data, applied to make understand the materials and the conservation treatment of modern wooden lacquered craftworks.
