Abstract
Many of the wall cabinets have been kept in the same homes for hundreds of years, due to the fact that they were difficult to dismantle. We find most of them overpainted, because in time dirt deposits covered the surface, which became unsightly for the owner. The presentation deals with case studies regarding two wall cabinets in the Sibiu area. Restoration operations are described, and the overpaint removal process is detailed. In the end, the revealed original paintings are compared to other decorations of wall cabinets in this area.
