chrstn53 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 I picked up a pretty amazing piece of art made by Charles Heschke a few months back. I have it hanging on my studio wall and want to possibly clean the picture. The picture is a bit dusty and I would love to clean it up but i'm unsure on the best/safest way to do it. 90% of the time I work with finished leather so I was hoping someone out there would know the best way to clean the picture without damaging it. The picture is detailed with a lot of crevasses so any help would be useful. Also I was wondering if anyone knows much about Mr. Heschke. I have some of his doodle pages and would love to know more about the man who created this wonderful piece. I tried the old internet to find some information but came up with very little information. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted June 7, 2014 Here are a few webpages with some helpful information. In general, don't apply any conditioners. Clean with a very soft bristle brush. http://www.cci-icc.gc.ca/publications/notes/8-2-eng.aspx http://www.cr.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/09-01.pdf http://www.leatherconservation.org/ You have a very beautiful piece of leather art work. Treasure it. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
