청풍부원군 김우명 상여의 보존 및 복제

Cheongpung Buwongun Kim Wu-myeong's Funeral Bier, an important folklore cultural property No.120, possessed by Chuncheon National Museum was donated in 2002 (by Kim Seonggu). It consists of a bier, yoyeo(腰輿), myeongjeongdae(銘旌臺), and manjangdae(輓章臺). It has a high value as the oldest royal bier. The bier which had a resting time in the storage for special exhibition of "The great cultural treasure of Gangwon province" was inspected in September 2012 and colored pigment layer of the wooden part had the risk of peeling off and surface damage of the textile was serious. Therefore, conservation treatment was conducted. In addition, knots and susiks(垂飾) were severely damaged and their exhibition was impossible. Therefore, a reproduction to replace them through a close investigation was made. All parts of the funeral bier were in separation except for the basic furniture. Conservation was made by dividing the parts into wooden parts and textile parts. Yoyeo was reinforced after disassembling bujae from it and then was reassembled. Paraloid B-72 2 wt% (in ethyle acetate), acrylic resin, was applied to the wooden part of the bier in order to reinforce the colored pigment layer with the addition of sodium alginate 2 wt%(in stilled water) and glue 4 wt%(in stilled water). The pollutants on the surface of the textile part were removed (vacuuming) and its creases were smoothed out (steaming). Fat-soluble pollutants were removed using an nonionic surfactant(Saponin, concentration at 0.25 to 0.5 g/𝑙, in de-ionized water). After the disassembly of the yoyeo from the broken wooden, it was bonded with glue (3 wt% for the first gluing, 35 wt% for gluing), and pine wood was used to restore missing parts. In the process of connecting Wongak(雲角), the original metal hinge and nails were reused to complete the assembly.

국립춘천박물관 소장 중요민속문화재 제 120호 청풍부원군 김우명 상여는 상여와 요여, 명정대, 만장대 등 1습으로 구성되었다. 2002년 기증되었으며(고(故) 김성구) 현존하는 최고(最古)의 왕실 제작 상여로 가치가 높게 평가되고 있다. 2012년 9월 '강원의 위대한 문화유산' 특별전시를 위하여 수장고에서 휴식기를 갖고 있던 상여를 점검한 결과 목재 부분의 채색 안료층이 박락될 우려가 있고, 직물류의 표면 손상이 심각하다고 판단하여 보존처리를 실시하였다. 이 중 매듭과 수식(垂飾)은 손상이 더 심해 전시가 불가능하므로 정밀조사에 따라 복제품을 제작하였다. 상여는 기본가구를 제외한 모든 부위가 분리된 상태였으며, 요여는 부재를 해체하여 보강한 후 재조립하였다. 상여의 목재 부분은 채색 안료층을 강화하기 위하여 Acryl 계열 수지인 Paraloid B-72 2 wt%(in ethyl acetate)를 도포한 후, 알긴산나트륨(Sodium alginate) 2 wt%(in 증류수)와 아교 4 wt%(in 증류수)를 혼합하여 사용하였다. 직물류는 표면 오염물을 제거한(Vacuuming) 후 구김을 폈다(Steaming). 지용성 오염의 경우 비이온 계면활성제(Saponin, 0.25 ~ 0.5 g/l, in 증류수)를 사용하여 제거하였다. 요여는 해체 후 부러졌던 부재를 아교 3 wt%(in 증류수, 초벌용)와 35 wt%(in 증류수, 접착용)로 접착하고 결실부 복원을 위해 건조한 소나무를 사용하였다. 운각의 연결은 본래의 금속제 경첩과 장석못을 재사용하여 조립을 완료하였다.
