2025-07 - CONSERVATION TREATMENT OF THE CHANLER CEILING MURAL IN THE SWIMMING POOL GROTTO

The Conservation Treatment, referred to as the “Project” or the “Work,” shall be divided into two (2) distinct phases, referred to as “Phase 1” and “Phase 2”. These Phases will be divided by a period of time where Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) work shall occur in close proximity above the Swimming Pool Grotto in the Living Room. Phase 1 of the Project will include, but is not limited to, the full consolidation of the mural and spot adhesion of a protective facing layer, with the goal being the stabilization of the painted surface and the plaster prior to the aforementioned ICCP work occurring in the Living Room. Phase 2 of the Project will include, but is not limited to, the removal of the protective facing layer, cleaning and reinstallation of the missing pendentive element, removal or treatment of corroding fasteners, repair of holes and resultant staining, cleaning of the mural surface, plaster consolidation, injection of interlayer plaster separation, reattachment of high relief ornaments, filling of plaster losses, removal of previous facing campaigns, paint consolidation and in-filling and in-painting losses. Pendentive reinstallation specifications are included in the Drawings. Both Phases of work require written and photographic documentation (before, during and after).
