The goal is to restore the artifact to its most similar condition compared to the time it was recognized as a national treasure in 2015, while ensuring the principle of preserving original elements and historical values.

According to the plan, damaged details will be restored to their original state, without creating new patterns or motifs, and the original traces will be retained if the structure of the artifact is not affected.

Restoration work will be carried out by a team of qualified and experienced staff, together with appropriate organizations and specialized units. Upon completion, the treasure must ensure that the cause of damage is eliminated to the maximum extent possible, increasing its durability, and maintaining its original shape, size and aesthetic value. Restoration of the artifact can only be carried out when the solutions are approved by competent authorities.

The construction process is expected to include 9 steps: site preparation, moving the treasure, scientific cleaning, repositioning the fragments, repositioning the complete artifact, stabilizing the gilded lacquer layer, restoring the gilded lacquer layer, protective coating and acceptance. After restoration, the “Nguyen Dynasty Throne” will be returned to its display location at Thai Hoa Palace, with a preservation plan that complies with national standards on artifact storage (TCVN 13568:2022) and cultural heritage conservation standards on display lighting (TCVN 14167:2024).

Hue City People's Committee assigned the Department of Culture and Sports to appraise the content of the plan, submit it to the City People's Committee for promulgation under the guidance of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism; advise on the establishment of a professional council to supervise the entire restoration process.

The Hue Monuments Conservation Center is assigned to closely monitor the progress, report to the City People's Committee and the Professional Council. The Hue Royal Antiquities Museum will directly supervise the restoration process, coordinate with the consulting unit to develop a technical plan, absorb and supplement any adjustments arising during the implementation process. The construction unit will be selected based on experience in preserving, restoring relics and restoring artifacts, with a team of highly skilled artisans...
