The 18th century leather tapestries were mounted on all sides of a trunk and fixed with iron strips and clasps. Some of the tapestries were torn and deformed, and portions of the painted surface were flaking. Most of the ornaments were practically invisible because the surface was heavily stained and very dusty. Different methods of dry cleaning were tested. The use of an electric eraser with soft and hard mines was consdiered the most suitable. Using a Klucel G solution the flaking surface was stabilized. The tears and the craquelure were filled with Mowilith. The three advantages of this treatment were the effective and non-destructive dry cleaning method that did not require preliminary fixing of the uncleaned surface, the avoidance ot the use of chemicals (and therefore, the lack of taxicity of the treatment as it affected the environment, the conservator, and the object), and the reversibility of the Mowilith adhesive. -- CAL
