Hello Everyone
My team and I are putting together exhibition display layouts ready for a mount maker to work from. Someone mentioned that we shouldn’t put silver plate in the same case as parchment or printed books as they adversely affect each other.
I must admit that I’d never heard this before. Can anyone enlighten me on mixing media within a display case or point me towards a source of information?
I’d be very grateful.
Many thanks.
