Abstract

Das 17. und 18. Jahrhundert gilt als „Goldenes Zeitalter“ des Goldleders in den Nord- und Südniederlanden. Obwohl dieses Material einst ähnlich berühmt war wie die Delfter Keramik, ist unglücklicherweise viel davon verloren gegangen. Gründe dafür sind Renovierungen, Materialzersetzungen und fehlendes Wissen über konservatorische Behandlungsmöglichkeiten. Technische Kunstwissenschaftler, Restauratoren und Wissenschaftler arbeiten gemeinsam daran, diese Objekte und ihre kulturelle Bedeutung für zukünftige Generationen zu erhalten.

The ‘Golden Age’ for gilt leather in the Northern and Southern Netherlands was in the 17th and 18th centuries. Unfortunately much of this material, even though it once had a similar fame to Delftware, has been lost through a variety of factors, including renovations, material degradation and limited knowledge in applying conservation treatments. The current generation of (technical) art historians, conservators and scientists are working together to ensure the preservation of these objects and their cultural meaning for future generations.
