Victim finery is a colloquial expression for a tradionelles procedure relating to crafts for the protection of brick-work. The finery is laid on and replaced, as soon as it cannot fulfill its task any longer, by a new cleaning. This replacement of the finery through sacrifice described.

Salts become in the brick-work by ascending humidity to the surface, and/or wall surfaces transport (capillary) and cause there unpleasant stopping flowering. A lime finish (group of mortars of I) can contribute in such a case to better dehumidifying of the wall. Since the solved salts are led by the capillary-moving water to to the evaporation surface of the finery, and there to crystallize, the finery in the course of the time loses its diffusion ability, i.e. a salt-loaded lime finish does not contribute no more to dehumidifying the brick-work and must be renewed.

The durability of the finery depends on the load of the brick-work by precipitation or groundwaters, and can be enough from some months to at the most few years. The advantage of this traditional method is in the low-priced execution and the continuous admission of the wall salts to see (therefore victim finery).
