Case Study

Project: Iznik Chimney
Client: Victoria & Albert Museum

We were commissioned to remove, conserve and remount the Iznik ceramic tiled fireplace situated in the corridor adjacent to Gallery 33. The fireplace was to form part of a touring exhibition of Islamic artefacts, so it was essential to design and construct a lightweight, demountable structure to support the exhibit.

Heritage Tile Conservation Ltd was commissioned by Royal Shrewsbury Hospitals to remove, restore and mount this triptych. Faith Hope & Charity (circa 1887) was designed by Charles Henry Temple (1857-1940) who was an influential artist at Maw & Co from 1887 to 1906. The panel measures 1974mm x 910mm and was relocated to the reception area of the new Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
