Conservation prioritizes stability and visibility—keeping surfaces honest and experiences coherent.
🧽 Care Practices
- Gentle dust removal; avoid over‑cleaning.
- Microcrystalline wax protection where suitable.
- Seasonal checks in high‑traffic areas.
| Risk | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Dust | Soft‑brush, low pressure |
| Humidity | Logging + thresholds |
| Touch | Barriers + signage |
Preventive care is quiet excellence.
Data logs for temperature/humidity support long‑term stability.
