Abstract
This study proposes a restorative intervention and the enhancement of an 18th century Spanish organ box, located in the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in the Toledo town of La Calzada de Oropesa. The organ was made by local artists in pine wood, and was gilded and polychrome with egg tempera, completing its decoration with glued and nailed reliefs.
The box lost the instrument during the Civil War, since then it has been in a state of absolute neglect, thus requiring the intervention of a conservator - restorer. Although structurally stable, it accumulates significant layers of dirt, has detached and lost elements and significant damage due to anthropogenic factors.
The absence of the instrument's own elements: keyboard, register handles, horizontal trumpetry (typical of Spanish organs) and, mainly, of the tube system, translates into a loss of its potential value and further highlights its state of abandonment. For this reason, it is proposed to carry out an enhancement in order to, through the work of the conservator - restorer, show and raise awareness of the historical, artistic, testimonial value, etc. of cultural property, despite the fact that these no longer fulfill the function for which they were created. For this, respectful and reversible measures are presented that solve the space of the castles (facsimile reproduction of the tubes and their recovery with projection or mapping techniques), thus bringing the viewer closer to the work and a better understanding of it. .
