Textile Conservation

Advances in Practice in Textile Conservation” showcases the evolution of the role and practices of textile conservators, providing an insight into the diverse range of work undertaken by these professionals. The book delves into four key factors that have shaped the trajectory of textile conservation practice since the 1980s: the evolving context, a paradigm shift in conservators’ perspectives on objects, increased stakeholder involvement, and advancements in technology. These factors play a crucial role in the decision-making processes that drive effective conservation efforts. The publication features case studies from various regions, including the UK, USA, mainland Europe, and Asia, evaluating the conservation of objects in some of the world’s prominent cultural institutions. Richly illustrated in full color, the book visually demonstrates the impact of conservation practices. “Textile Conservation” serves as a valuable reference manual for textile conservators, students in textile conservation, and professionals in the museum and heritage sector.
