The aim of this paper is to re-evaluate a significant and award winning conservation treatment some ten years after the work was completed using the theme provided by the forum “Mind the Gap! Structural and Aesthetic Options for the Treatment of Loss in Textiles” organised by the ICON Textile Group on 27 April 2009. This re-evaluation will reflect on developments in technology and museological interpretation, and how these may influence or change attitudes to interventive treatment. The paper will detail the conservation treatment methods used, will describe the decision making process behind them and finally place these against more contemporary possibilities and considerations.
