CARE OF ANTIQUE FURNITURE – ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

Much of the damage to furniture has been caused by central heating dryness, and it makes sense to suggest that the client installs a humidifier, preferably before the restored piece is returned home. Occasionally, there is the opposite problem of excessive dampness, especially in unheated premises, or storage areas.

HOW TO PROTECT IT FROM THE RAVAGES OF CENTRAL HEATING

SITING

Furniture should never be placed directly in front of a radiator. It should ideally be at least two feet from any heat source. If a piece of furniture really has to be placed near a radiator, a possible compromise would be to devise an insulating protective ‘barrier’. This could take the form of a decorative fire screen with an insulated/reflective backing.

A humidifier can be sited anywhere in the room near an electric socket, but not under a piece of furniture or in front of a fireplace or open chimney. A good position would be behind a sofa, and in front of a radiator, so it is hidden from view but the rising heat helps circulate moisture in the convection currents. Most house plants relish additional humidity, and can be used to hide the humidifier. Some interior designers have come up with ingenious ways of concealing a very functional humidifier within an aesthetically-pleasing cabinet.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

Antique furniture needs protection from low levels of relative humidity caused by central heating. Without humidification the relative humidity may well fall to dangerously low levels of 25-30% rH which is close to that in the Sahara Desert.

USE A HUMIDIFIER IF YOU HAVE CENTRAL HEATING

Prevention is always better than cure. It is possible to safeguard antique furniture from dry air damage by investing in a good humidifier which will help maintain a constant level of relative humidity in the air during winter heating. Simply placing a bowl of water or a pot plant near a piece of antique furniture is of little value in protecting it from the effects of central heating. For a normal comfortable indoor temperature of 70ºF, aim to maintain 50-55% relative humidity.

Electric Humidifiers

The choice of humidifier depends on room size and purpose. It is important to get specialist advice on the most suitable model.

Humidifiers incorporate a safety cut-out to switch off automatically should you forget to refill. They are also silent, completely hygienic, and simple to use. They are suitable for use with hard water, and need only to be descaled periodically as for a kettle.

Different Features and Types of Humidifiers

Electric humidifiers operate by various different principles, each with different features:-

Steam evaporation – Produces gentle, warm, visible steam. Silent (no moving parts). Hygienic (sterile in operation), good moisture distribution. Easy to clean. No filters to change. Suitable for hard or soft water.

Fan-assisted evaporation – Produces cool, invisible moisture. Motor noise. Regular cleaning essential to avoid stagnation. Need filters changed regularly.

Ultrasonic/atomisation – Produces jet of visible cold mist. Humming noise. White chalk dust deposits on surrounding surfaces. Localised effect. Needs water softening cartridges changed regularly. Use distilled or very soft water.

N.B. For Health/Medical Use:

Steam evaporation humidifiers (such as Turmix) are the only ones which are completely silent and suitable for use in nurseries, bedrooms and sitting rooms (no moving parts, no ultrasonic humming). The Turmix also holds enough water to last right through the night (safety cut-out).

They are also suitable for use in hard water areas. Any minerals in the water are left behind in the water tank, which needs to be descaled periodically (as with a kettle). Only pure water vapour is produced into the room (unlike with ultrasonic and atomisation humidifiers which spray a fine film of white chalk dust onto surrounding surfaces).

Similarly, because the steam has been heated, it is completely hygienic – the gentle warm steam from the Turmix 200 is frequently used for inhalation to ease congestion (with eucalyptus or tea tree) or aromatherapy (with lavender or camomile etc. which are calming and soothing).

Non-Electric Humidifiers

If you prefer non-electric humidifiers, use a large capacity hang-on radiator humidifier. These should be used on all radiators in the rooms concerned.

Such humidifiers can be hidden within radiator housings. The front of the housing needs to be hinged to allow easy access for daily filling.

You cannot over-humidify with these non-electric humidifiers. To get the best output, use the largest size that your radiator can accommodate and remember to fill daily. Essential oils can be added if desired.

Hygrometers

Be sure to use a hygrometer to check that the relative humidity stays in the region of 50-55%.

Solid Wood and Wood Made

Distinguishing these two types of wood material is easier to do physically before have been painted/finished or other coating materials. By looking at these materials directly we can know the difference. And makes the definition of each of these materials could make to misunderstandings because some solid wood properties have on board made. Wood-made is not really the appropriate term from the international term engineered wood or wood composite. Once out of the kiln dry, sawn timber can be processed directly into the foot of the table, the table board (laminated) or a drawer side board without going through the process more complicated. Wood is used directly as we can to think of solid wood. Or when you make the back legs of a chair that curved from the split and sawed a board in accordance with the arch legs of the chair, the material is solid wood remains. This means that only solid wood base materials consist of wood without mixed or in combination with other material forms. Although in the process we use the connection laminated, finger joint or other construction to the board on the table for example, the material is still referred to as solid wood. Made of wood (engineered wood) because some of the weaknesses of wood that does not allow a board wide and stable, then the start is made of artificial board in various ways workmanship and type of artificial board. Basically artificial board is to get a single sheet of board with the risk of changes as small as possible. Made in various techniques and materials of wood is different, because of that there are kinds of artificial board called multiplex, block board, particle board, MDF, soft board, hardboard and the like. All these materials are made by the board. In some designs a chair leg or a cupboard that require large-diameter curve, furniture manufacturers use technology to make veneer laminated curved legs but very strong. This processing is done by layering several sheets veneer rather thick and long, and then veneer pressed on the appropriate design of curved chair leg on the pressure and high temperature. This process typically uses a glue type of very fast dry on high temperature. So the end result we can see on the side of the foot is seen glue lines as layer of veneer. When a designer wants to make beams for interior or exterior measures 20 x 20 cm), a wood engineer will not give just one solid wood because it would risk curved, broken or changed shape. To overcome this problem, made laminate and finger joint that many proportion of wood so get a large size but the risk of change is much smaller. This type of material called LSL (Laminated Structural Lumber). From these several process to reduce and avoid the weaknesses of wood. And material workmanship of the results is called engineered wood, not solid wood.
