The wallpaper in especially SJP Kruger’s reception room has deteriorated extensively. With this study, I would like to give the reader a better understanding of the state of deterioration of the wallpaper. The aim of this study is to create a decision-making framework, that will include the condition of the wallpaper as it is, but also address institutional constraints, the architectural context, as well as the historical value of the DKM through chemical analyses, literature reviews and interviews.en© 2023 University of Pretoria.
