1. Conserving the Looking Glass

Treatment of the Looking Glass involved a lot of looking, testing and thinking. The looking glass is very heavy and has fallen off the wall several times, which consequently has led to many campaigns of treatment over the years. Several of the mirrored border panels have been severely broken and repaired with various adhesives that have yellowed significantly, the bottom central mirror pane has been replaced, and staples were added around the perimeter to provide extra support to the glass border panels.
