家具的修護及相關概念：以國立傳統藝術中心典藏之「鼓架」修復為例

Furniture Conservation and Related Concepts: A Case Study of Restoration of“Drum Stands”Collected in the National Center for Traditional Arts

「鼓架」是國立傳統藝術中心典藏之文物，經過時間的流逝，有劣化、破損的現象，影響文物之典藏保存、實際使用及展示教育之功能，為延續文物生命，國立傳統藝術中心決定進行文物修護工作。國立傳統藝術中心希望藉由本次文物之修護，除將劣化、缺失、損毀之部分修護外更要恢復實際使用之功能，使其能夠再度重新使用發揮其功能，並希望藉由傳統工藝師之修護，重建文物的生命歷程，回歸到原來的文化脈絡，因此修復的思維理念與方法與博物館修護自有不盡相同之處。本文以國立傳統藝術中心典藏「鼓架」委託傳統工藝師修護過程，針對修護原則的確立、文物狀況檢視、榫卯接合技法及修護過程等進行分析與記錄。

Due to the passage of time, “Drum stands,” cultural relics collected by the National Center for Traditional Arts, appear deteriorated and damaged, and this condition has affected the stands’ functions of conservation, actual use, exhibition and educating the public on cultural relics. To extend the life of these cultural relics, the National Center for Traditional Arts decided to restore them and resume their original functions in addition to restoring their deteriorated, defective and damaged parts. Moreover, it was hoped that the restoration efforts of traditional craftsmen could restore the life of these cultural relics and allow them to function within their cultural context. Therefore, the center’s concept and method of restoring considerations were somewhat different from the restoration task of a museum. Based on the restoration of “drum stands” by traditional craftsmen entrusted by the National Center for Traditional Arts, this study analyzed and documented the establishment of restoration principles, the cultural relics’ state inspection, the techniques of tenon and mortise joints as well as the restoration process.
