OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
CARE AND HANDLING OF ART OBJECTS
(2) Move only one object at a time and carry it with
one hand underneath. Unpack trays over padded
tables so that detached parts will not be lost or
damaged.
(3) Do not lift small, fragile objects by handles, rims,
or other projections, for these parts may have been
broken and repaired. Hold the body of the piece
gently but firmly. Check each object in and out of
the tray when it is composed of more than one part.
Peck each part separately wi thin the tray or crate.
for
(4) Always use padded trays for moving small objects.
Do not move thom by hand except for placement in
trays. Use sufficient cotton or padding within the
.O
tray or crate to provent contact with other objects.
Whenever possible, objects should be so placed that
they do not project above the top of the tray.
(5) Make sure that hands are clean. Use gloves or tis-
sue when handling objects wi th glazed, polished
metal or other highly finished surfaces. (All such
materials show finger marks, which are difficult
to remove. ) Apply this rule to mat finishes and
painted decorations as well. Smooth-surfaced objects
are hard to handle with gloves or tissue; with them,
extra care is necessary.
(6) Do not move trays by hand from one part of the build-
ing to another. Use the trucks provided for the pur-
pose, if available. Speed and jarring in motion
should be strictly avoided. Take time to do the job
properly.
b. Small Sculptures: To avoid chipping and scratching in
transit, small, heavy objects should always be set on pads and
carefully supported so that the weight is evenly distributed.
C. Ivories and Wood Carvings: Ivories and small wood carv-
ings are affected by sudden changes of atmosphere. Do not leave
such pieces near open windows or doors, particularly during the
winter months.
