Two 18th-century tapestries required conservation before rehanging in the State Apartments at Hampton Court Palace. Both had undergone restoration in the 1970s. In 1980, they were placed in storage, the reweaving having stopped abruptly in a vertical line on both tapestries. Further problems were found with previous 19th-century repairs in which patches were stitched through to the front of the tapestries. The objective of the Textile Conservation Studios (TCS) was to examine the tapestries and to formulate a method whereby the reweaving could be integrated into contemporary conservation treatment. This was achieved by the complete removal of the patch repairs and the partial removal of the reweaving. Some yarns were reused and blended with new materials in order to break up the abrupt, straight line of the restoration. The reweaving was continued for a short distance and modified to resemble conservation techniques. New yarns gradually replaced restoration threads. All existing original weave was treated with TCS conservation techniques. The methodology has been extremely successful. Both tapestries are now rehung in the Queen's Gallery, Hampton Court Palace.
