Abstract

Repair of any unicate artefact always requires the challenge and however demands for high level of knowledge & experience in this field, at the same level conservation works. Those demands are regarding not only on visual appearance, it is intended to stain unchainched other properties, even to question of strength, either it is an artistic piece, also the possibility of lowering the corrosion resistance, after the repair works have done. Here in details are analysed possible solutions for repairing of one broken arm when an unicate lamp unintentionaly is damaged. The used bulk material of the lamp is not available for using a kind of welding or soldering procedures, firstly that those methods will markably change the surface properties of the repaired zone. So, the repairing is provided by combining two methods: reinforcing with semi-hard aluminum wire and two component glue.

Reparacija nekog unikatnog dela uvek predstavlja izazov i zahteva puno stručnosti i umeća konzervacije. Zahtevi se odnose na vizuelni izgled, koji što više treba da ostane neizmenjen, pa do pitanja čvrstoće kao i mogućeg odvijanja korozije nakon izvođenja svih planiranih reparaturnih radova. Ovde se analiziraju mogući postupci reparacije jedne polomljene ruke na unikatnoj stonoj lampi i detaljno je opisano izvođenje reparacije kombinovanjem armiranja aluminijumskom žicom i dvokomponentnim lepkom.
