the answer from these two experts
or from officials of most other art
museums.
“This is a job for a commercial
appraiser,” explained Sickman. “All
we can do is tell them what they've
got, where it came from, perhaps
who made it and ‘try to estimate its
significance as art.”

Q. I have trouble cleaning soap
residue from the ceramic tile
around the shower, What do
you suggest?
A. Combine 1/2 cup water softener with several tablespoons
of mild abrasive household
cleanser. Add 1 cup hot water.
Mix the solution and with a
stiff nylon brush, scrub the
tile well. (Nylon bristles do
not soften when wet.) When
the tile is clean, rinse and
dry. A coat of cream wax
on the clean ceramic tile will
make it easier to maintain.
Q. Would you recommend washing draw draperies?
A, If the draperies have a French
pleated heading with a stiffening of crinoline, it would be
unwise to launder them, Crinoline does not hold up well
when laundered. However, if
the heading is shirred or if
the stiffening is removable,
you could launder the drap
