The research project is investigating the pigments and binding media of forty-one pieces of chests, chairs, stools, chest of drawers, boxes and cupboards. The paint examination and analysis of three case pieces are presented. Optical examination included the study of the pigment morphology and stratigraphy in reflective and ultra violet light. Particles were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Binders were investigated with infrared spectroscopy. Main pigments and colorants found are: red and yellow ochers, including hematite and goethite, red lead, lead white, bone black, carbon black and indigo. The project is ongoing and results will be made accessible via an online database.
