Abstract
Concerns the restoration and conservation of all types of textiles such as floor rugs, orientals, Chinese rugs, Aubussons, flags, tapestries, burial findings, sacred clothing, and then zeros in on the main topic--the restoration and preservation of painted wall hangings and tapestries. Due to the poor condition of the artifacts, dry cleaning would destroy them. Describes how to handle, clean and preserve these items. Enzyme treatment is discussed as well as other treatments such as mothproofing and the use of softeners. Discusses how to weave in losses or replace them. Color correction and various ways of mounting are also mentioned.
