Old tapestries and collector's rugs can be the subject of different restoration operations.
The treatment proposals are dictated by: the general state of conservation of the object, the origin, the period… as well as by its destination (private collection, public collection, museum, historic monument), or its historical interest.
​
These questions arise when choosing treatments:
​
-
The restoration can be conservative. Its objective is to stabilize the alterations of the works and to present the pieces in the best conditions of conservation.
​
-
The restoration work can also restore the general condition of the tapestry as close as possible to the original appearance.
​​
​Our ethics : respect the rules of the restorer-curator's deontology: readability, reversibility, stability and the choice of materials and techniques.
​
Procedure for taking charge of works:
​
After a careful examination of your part, a photographic cover, supplemented if necessary by laboratory analyzes, we draw up a condition report as well as a treatment proposal.
We then proceed to all stages of the partial or total restoration of worn or missing parts.
​
Advice and condition report on site or in the workshop.
Preventive conservation: we ensure all the measures and actions aimed at preventing the deterioration of objects: storage, handling, environmental control (light, humidity, etc.), the establishment of emergency plans, staff training…
