le aplicó un tratamiento especial

Archaeology
Could someone please help me find a phrase that would fit in the context of art restoration?
Somehow, "applied A special treatment" sounds like they coated it with something, and "gave it special treatment" sounds like something you'd do for a person (roll out the red carpet). TIA!!!
El original estuvo en exhibición cerca de medio siglo (1941-1988) en el Museo de América, de Madrid, hasta que en 1989 el Instituto de Restauración y Conservación de Bienes Culturales de España le aplicó un tratamiento especial de acuerdo a las normas más exigentes de conservación. Hoy en día lo presentan extendido entre dos vidrios dentro de una cámara de gas inerte, al interior de la bóveda de máxima seguridad del museo.

Comment: "Thank you, Rachel. "Underwent special treatment" (but not "a special treatment") sounds good to me. Thanks to everyone for the help!"

a specific treatment was applied
Just a suggestion. You could also say: a specific treatment compliant with the most demanding conservation standards was applied. This way, you won't get those ambiguous expressions! :)
HTH!
HTH!

: Yes, this is a good way to avoid saying what bothered you originally in your query. Nice job, Adriana.

Just different wording, since several good variations using 'special' and 'treatment' have already been suggested. Good luck.

I wouldn't use 'a special treatment', but perhaps something like 'received special treatment' may work. See para. 3 of this article.

Hi Patricia,
Glad to be of help. I won't post an answer on this occasion. I think Rachel's suggestion is fine.

Note from asker:
| reading that paragraph convinces me (although I thought that given the overall context "specific treatment" might work). Why don't you post this as an answer? Thanks again for your support! |
