A rare Korean banner, of the Choson period (c. 1800), made of a single layer of silk damask, painted on both sides, was conserved for long-term, free-hanging display at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The brief included retaining access to the reverse face and the drape of the banner. Cross-sectional analyses of paint revealed proteinaceous media and animal glue. The colourants were characterized with X-ray fluorescence, revealing the presence of the potentially toxic compounds, arsenic oxide and orpiment. The friable paints were consolidated using isinglass (1.5% w/v) in an IMS/water mixture. Slits in the painted silk were supported with patches of silk crepeline coated with Lascaux 360/498 HV prepared (at 15% v/v) with an acetone/water mixture; the adhesive was reactivated with acetone vapour via a Gore-Tex poultice. To allow for free-hanging display, nylon net was applied to support the notched side edge, and the top edge was supported with silk lined with cotton, which formed a hanging sleeve. -- SCMRE
