| Abstract | Since the 1970s, suction devices have been used for the treatment of works of art on paper. Over the last three decades the concept of using suction in conservation has been accepted not only by paper conservators but also by conservators in other specialties. Over time, the suction table has evolved into smaller suction devices for use in conservation treatments such as local stain reduction and washing. However, the existing devices have limitations: the treatment of mounted objects, objects on thick paper supports, or objects with sensitive media is restricted. Using the basic theory of suction-aided stain reduction, a hand-held suction device was designed and constructed that eliminates the disadvantages of traditional tabletop suction devices by introducing suction to the surface of an artifact to pull staining up and away from the support, rather than through it. |
