Conserving the Sherborne Cartonnage | Episode 5

In this Episode, we hear from conservator Barbara Wills how she went about making the repairs that were needed to restore the Sherborne cartonnage to it's former glory.
It's also a big moment for Verena and the whole team when they finally flip both the base and the lid and see what's happening on the flipside.
The conservation and the making of this film was generously sponsored by the John S Cohen Foundation.

Love Roux`sense of humour.

[@annettefournier9655]

Thank God. Now I can start to fix my Cartonnage. First maybe I should spell it correctly.😆💜👏👏👏

[@juliejames6322]

And Roux, you are such a delight, it wouldn’t be the same without you.

[@cstz]

I love this whole series, but this episode showing the detailed technical side of conservation is my favourite so far. The knowledge, passion, care, practical know-how and inventive problem-solving genius of the conservators really shines through, and it's a joy to watch. Thank you, and I can't wait for the next episode!

[@geekzakidd]

Roux's intros are THE BEST.

[@user-hs3xq5nt7b]

I never thought that I would find conserving a cartonnonage interesting but you made it so!

[@whizzywoo582]

Gonna have to get me a cartonnage to repair lol ;)

[@Splash_of_Freedom]

Fascinating. Thank you from the USA for these videos.

[@CrowSkeleton]

...I need a David Attenborough narration now about how the conservationists have bonded to the cartonnage and accepted him into their pack...

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

You need a non-cowardly name, infant.

[@Cora.T]

This is one of, if not my favourite series. I make an exited little oeh noise every time I spot a new episode 😂

[@causewaykayak]

So ingenious. What a team. Engineers, Chemist's and fabricators ! Most impressive. You could make kayaks as a fund raiser ...

[@TheCrossingkangaroo]

Sherby!

[@chattykathie7129]

Oh my golly I forgot about this! The first one in the series has been a long time ago ❤️ thank you for not forgetting us!

Watching from North Idaho, USA. This series has been absolutely riveting. Thank you for providing them.

[@d00dEEE]

I've been waiting millenia for instruction on how to preserve my cartonnage, so this is very welcome. But now I find I also need some help with my quipu...

[@MrsRubens]

Me too! So glad to finally have some expert advice!

[@paulbouchard9521]

I forgot about this series. Very glad to stumble upon the newer material and get caught up.

[@robertcochran7103]

Barbara, you are an amazingly skilled person. I'm really glad you are restoring the Cartonnage. I hope we get to see more episodes showing your work. .

Aaaah another episode!!!! I love them sososo much and also the commentary always makes me smile so much. Thank you for your hard work!!

[@GwynEllisHughes]

Great! A new episode of the cartonnage restoration and conservation! Superb episode too! Many thanks indeed. Its absolutely fascinating process. You could say that I've been on tenterhooks for this new update. I REALLY believe you on this channel, and the BM are on to something, showing this conservation and restoration project. How about the other conservation areas of the BM? Stone, metal, fabric, ceramic, paper, velum, even human remains! I certainly believe that such episodes as you have so expertly filmed of the behind the scenes work of the BM, SHOULD continue. BRAVO to everyone involved 👏

[@christinadavey2244]

Loving it loving it loving it.... again - an excellent and fascinating video. Thank you :)

[@jonsiepollock2175]

So happy to see this episode! Thank you, thank you, thank you !

[@jordang7479]

I love this series so much!

[@susanhepburn6040]

Absolutely fascinating! VERY well done to all involved!

[@sonoflincs]

I’m a bit late to the ‘Cartonnage Party’ but thank you so much for these fabulous episodes. Great to see how such a knowledgeable team work on such a fragile historical object. The changes seen from the rather deflated balloon stage to now has been truly remarkable…

[@sk8mysterion]

Very nice, i was wondering if we'd get more episodes :) ✌️

[@davidcaldecoat7414]

Really interesting and informative on what has been done and what you are doing to conserve and reshaping this coffin

[@elizabethsloan3192]

I love this series!

[@paulmorris1690]

Absolutely brilliant - I am in awe

[@donbachmeier7617]

So very impressive. Thank you.

[@ellemm]

It's been quite a few months since this episode! Will there be an episode 6? 7? 8? Hope to see a new one soon!!

[@catspaw3815]

Conserving a bad cartonnage, is deserving of good badinage. Thank you for all your patience, ladies!

[@JJONNYREPP]

Conserving the Sherborne Cartonnage | Episode 5 1834pm 7.4.22 well done.

[@chuckhillier4153]

Wonderful.

[@monicacallesarenales5865]

[@luisinlondon]

So interesting!!! And she is very funny. :) :)

[@Causticfeline]

I'm going straight through this series, it's extremely interesting in every way! I loved it until I head that the conservator women nick named the catonnage Sherbie... I cannot suggest this to people more. Absolutely precious.

[@finnersmcspeed5646]

such a super intro !

[@douchebag3323]

Roux! 💕

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Will there be any more episodes of this?

[@psammiad]

Rather than Repairs with Barbara, how about Fix It With Babs? :D

[@thomasbell7033]

I make model airplanes and I thought my propping and clamping techniques were creative. Clearly, I'm a rank duffer.

[@rachaelp8153]

We're all here for Roux right?

[@marymorrow8718]

Roux is the best.

[@chonnywong]

Amazing work, but a little unfortunate that these burial sites have been desecrated

[@kc7419]

Nothing in the end is original or objects don’t last forever.

[@kendrickkelly2336]

""...And there was much rejoicing." *yay* *yay* kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWKlnmx8pLmNjq8

[@deeremeyer1749]

You could just stop handling and jacking around with it and see if it's "preserved" by being left as-is.

[@onefeather2]

They should contact Baumgartner in Chicago he is one of the very best.

[@duckrutt]

Who do you think recommended washi kozo :)

[@juliejames6322]

I was so pleased that I know a little about so much that they’re doing, thanks to him! Never thought art conservation could be so fascinating.

[@MaggieTrudeau]

This item is stolen. Return it

[@NinaHansen2008]

It was NOT stolen. It was legitimately purchased from the Egyptian Museum which had de-accessioned as no longer needed.

[@deqyfata9270]

Stolen art from arround the world.. shame of u..

[@svenblubber5448]

What a shame, I'm really interested in the subject, but the format and presentation is so terrible...

[@juliejames6322]

You do know, dude, that you don’t actually have to watch the series if you hate it so much? I mean, is someone there with you forcing you to watch it? Are you in danger? Write something nice if you need someone to come rescue you. Otherwise, Sven, just walk away, man. just walk away.
