조선시대(朝鮮時代) 충정관(忠靜冠)의 보존처리(保存處理)

The hat excavated from the tomb of Hojeo-myon Wonsung-gun in Kangwon province was dry-cleaned and restored. The hat was made of wool felt and decorated with several strands of silk cord. It was very dirty and moth-eaten. After getting rid of the particle soils on a surface with painting brush, the hat was dry-cleaned using perchloroethylene applying the minimum force, and blotting paper was used for drying. During cleaning, it was supported by the stainless steel net. The weight loss was 7.94% after cleaning. The soils sticked on the hat was removed clearly. The texture of the hat became softer after cleaning. Color difference(∆E) was 2.57, which is a noticeable change. The color became clear and changed to the red and yellow range. After dry-cleaning, the hat was repaired. Dislocated silk cords were fixed to the right place by stitching with silk yarn. To keep the shape of the hat, it should be supported by a hat-shaped stiff net during exibition and storing.

강원도 원성군 호저면에서 출토된 조선시대 모자(충정관)를 보존처리하였다. 모자는 양모 펠트 직물로 구성되어 있었으며, 견섬유의 끈으로 장식되어 있었다. 처리 전의 모자는 심하게 오염되어 있었고 좀벌레에 의해 손상된 상태였다. 유물의 처리과정은 부드러운 붓과 핀셋으로 고형오염물을 제거한 후 유물을 지지할 수 있는 스테인레스 망을 이용하여 퍼클로로에틸렌으로 2차례에 걸쳐 건식세탁하였다. 여분의 용매는 압지법을 사용하여 제거하였다. 세탁 후 유물의 감량률은 7.99%, 세탁 전후 유물의 색차는 2.57을 나타냄으로써 유물에 부착되어 있던 각종 오염물들이 탈락되었으며, 모자의 외관이 깨끗해지고 밝아졌다. 세탁 후 견봉사를 이용하여 장식용 끈들을 제자리에 고정시키고 모자의 모양을 잡아주는 보수 작업을 실행하였다.
