Chased Patching at the Palace Museum Restoration Studio
故宫铜器修复室的錾刻补配

故宫文保科技部修复清宫铜掐丝珐琅器与铜镜时，对缺失錾花按"修旧如旧"原则补配：以硅胶翻取原件纹样负模，用低熔点合金压出母样，再在 0.5–0.8 mm 黄铜补片上錾出同款锦地与缠枝莲；做旧以虫胶调矿物颜料分层罩染，杜绝整体浸洗，每处补配均写入修复档案备查。
Restoring Qing cloisonné and bronze mirrors, the Palace Museum's conservation studio patches missing chased areas "like for like": a silicone negative of surviving ornament yields a low-melt-alloy master, and 0.5–0.8 mm brass patches are chased with matching brocade grounds and lotus scrolls. Ageing is done by layered shellac-mineral tinting—never bulk immersion—and every patch is documented in the restoration archive. ---
