Abstract
The displacement of the Royal Portuguese family to Brazil in 1808 became a significant event responsible for a deep change in the Portuguese colony way of living. The vessel Galeota Real, property of King D. João VI of Portugal, also known as Galeota Imperial, was a gift to the King just to be used exclusively on royal ceremonies. An intervention of conservation and restoration of all its elements in gilded carved wood was carried out. This work aimed to return the unity and the magnificence already lost, as a result of time passage and previous restorations. The intervention made possible the acquisition of relevant knowledge on original and historical manufacturing artistic techniques.
