Ok, we have an antique Camel Saddle to frame. It's been in my shop for about 1 month, stored in a wood crate (our crate) with bubble wrap beneath & on top, loosely. Crate not sealed, in a neutral area with no abnormal moisture or dryness.
I took it out of the crate to begin working on it & found a white powdery substance on it, like baby powder. It wipes off with a dry cloth but now I'm concerned about encasing it in a frame!
I spoke to my client & she said it was used as a footstool for about 40 years, and when not in use it was stored in a closet in a garage, she's never seen this happen to it.
Have any of you come across anything like this and if so what would the remedy be?
