I recently read that storing knives with ivory handles can be risky if they rest on material that has been dyed or has some other properties that could leach into the ivory; since ivory is porous it can be discolored. I have a few ivory pieces strored in a chest where the drawers are covered in green felt. Do I have a potential problem? Is there something I should put on the felt to protect the ivory?
Thoughts would be appreciated.
