Abstract
The conservation of the Vanderbilt Mansion mantelpiece involved both structural and cosmetic work on a variety of materials which included red Numidian marble, mosaic decorative panels, a wood entablature, and an iron fireback. The choice of surface coating (polyethy-lene glycol) for the stone is discussed. The installation of the mantel in the Metropolitan Museum is also described. See also 18-147.
