Abstract
A multi-purpose low pressure conservation table is being used primarily for paste and wax-resin linings of paintings at the National Gallery, London. The table is also capable of newer techniques, including vacuum-envelope linings, cold-linings, and contact or electrostatic-hold linings. The advantages of different lining techniques are summarized. Physical characteristics of the table are discussed and the testing procedures for pressure, temperature, humidification and drying are described. The treatments on the table of 4 paintings are summarized. Photographs, diagrams, references.
