Furniture heritage
Movable assets are divided into two categories of property: documents and heritage objects.
What is a heritage document?
The heritage document is a medium in which information is carried in the form of words, sounds or images.
The document must have artistic, emblematic, ethnological, historical, scientific and technological value or several of them.
A document may be, for example:
- Archives
- a manuscript
- a book
- a photograph
- A film.
The medium itself is not necessarily of a heritage interest. For example, a film of artistic or historical value can be considered a heritage document, even if it is kept on a simple DVD.
What is a heritage object?
The property object is a movable asset other than a heritage document. It must have an archaeological, artistic, emblematic, ethnological, historical, scientific, technological or other value.
A heritage object may include:
- paint
- a musical instrument
- of tools
- the prototype of a machine
- a piece of furniture
- a garment
- an artifact found during archaeological excavations.
