Buccleuch Monument

Edinburgh, 2008

Works:

This memorial is now regarded as hugely significant in art history terms because some of the most important Scottish names in Scottish sculpture and design worked on the statue and the bronze panels, including Sir Joseph Boehm, who designed the head of Queen Victorisa for coinage.

Conservation works to bronze statue, panels and figures. Application of pigmented and non pigmented wax to bronze areas. Cleaning of stone plinth using steam and manual techniques. Consolidation and lime repairs.
