Abstract
This research is about the damage caused by the furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum) on the cultural and historic hardwood through a case study on cultural and historic artifacts in Nice-France, through studying five historic artifacts that were used for different purposes, such as old household items (old wooden coffee grinder- old wooden box), old construction tools (old Mason's moulded brick jointer) and old carpentry tools (old wooden mallet- old wooden plane). All these artifacts were made out by of hardwoods (Fagus sylvatica L, Quercus robur L, Populus nigra L, Platanus occidentalis L), but in spite of their diversity, they have taken the same appearance of damage by furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum). This study begins with an introduction on the damages caused by the insects; Anobiidae family and furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum), followed by the identification the types of wood, the damage caused by the furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum) on selected artifacts and finally the conclusions.
