This second edition of 'Textile Conservator's Manual', now revised
and available in paperback, provides an in-depth review of the
current practice, ethics and materials used in textile
conservation. Concentrating on decorative art objects from the
major cultures, the book gives practical instruction and a wide
variety of case histories. While the format has been simplified,
the text has been expanded and updated to include changes bought
about by recent developments in the conservation of material. This
new information will increase the reader's ability to interpret
signs of ageing and past activity on the object. New case histories
in Part Two represent major investigations into the technical
history.A basis is provided from which to develop practical skills,
taking into account the needs of the object, its essential
characteristics of appearance and, above all, its structure. The
book covers a wide range of decorative objects, from a fragment of
linen 4000 years old to a theatrical backcloth of the twentieth
century.This book is practical and thought-provoking, not only
about what is being done and how, but also why.
