In general, the work consists of: the cleaning, restoration, and preservation of decoratively painted plaster ceiling areas (64 panels of various sizes) in the three rings of the ground floor Rotunda of the Wisconsin State Capitol Building. Work is required to be conducted with a continuous work effort/presence. Multiple panels may be treated simultaneously. All painted ceiling surfaces will receive conservation cleaning to remove surface dirt/dust/grime. The work includes the manual removal of the darkened varnish coating over the entire panel on all panels and 3 conservation of the intact finishes on all the panels. The scope includes varnish removal, application of an isolation layer, plaster stabilization, paint consolidation, infills where necessary, inpainting and in-gilding of losses, patinating and toning of new finish areas to match adjacent existing finishes, and final varnish. Areas of plaster loss are required be repaired using appropriate plaster material. Areas of repaired plaster 8 will be in-painted to match the original color palette and any areas of decorative loss will be in-painted 9 and/or in-gilded to match the original color palette. On panels that have been repainted and are not original, the work includes repainting to match the conserved panels. Where there is a significant quantity of painting loss, the scope will include repainting in lieu of touch-ups to provide a cohesive appearance. New gilding will be toned in to match the surrounding panels. At the completion of the conservation, a non-yellowing, reversible art conservation isolation 15 varnish will be applied to stabilize, saturate, and unify the decorative ceiling panels.
