rMIX: Restoration of Antique Upholstery of Furniture and Walls - 10888

rMIX Ads: Offers/Requests | Antiquity

Code: 10888. I deal with the conservative restoration of antique and valuable tapestries that form integral parts of furniture and wall furnishings. Fabrics used for upholstery include historical coverings of armchairs, sofas, cushions, screens and canopies . In addition, there are wall hangings that cover the entire surface of the walls of a room. These coverings can vary greatly in decoration, materials, fabric type and intrinsic characteristics, as the fabrics adapt to the shape of the objects they cover and are often stretched to improve their aesthetic appearance. These artifacts often combine very different materials, such as metal studs, wool or straw padding, and wooden or metal structures. Prolonged tension on the fabrics can cause the fibres to weaken, making careful restoration work necessary. The restoration begins with the study of the technique of making the basic fabric, the assembly and a scrupulous preliminary analysis of the state of conservation. Afterwards, the intervention is planned and the materials to be used are carefully chosen. Appropriate conservation techniques will be applied, respecting the integrity of the artifact, to make it accessible again and preserved over time.

rMIX Ads: Offers/Requests | Antiquity

Code: 10887. I specialize in the restoration of antique fabrics, particularly historical clothing and related accessories. Among ancient clothes and accessories there is a great variety of artefacts, which includes religious vestments, theatrical costumes, historical clothes, hats, footwear, gloves, fans and umbrellas. These objects are made from fabrics of all kinds, carefully cut and assembled to create three-dimensional artefacts. The shapes, tailoring and decorative motifs are almost infinite, varying and evolving over the centuries. Often, these artifacts include different materials, such as umbrella and fan ribs or bead and stone decorations on clothing. The restoration of clothing and accessories, therefore, is extremely diversified and requires specific solutions for each piece. A fundamental phase of the restoration is the study of the techniques of working the basic fabric, of the tailoring assembly, and a preliminary analysis of the state of conservation. Subsequently, we proceed with the planning of the intervention and the careful choice of the materials to be used. During the restoration of antique clothing and accessories, the most suitable conservation techniques are applied to preserve the integrity of the artefact and, finally, in agreement with the owner, the most appropriate display system is defined.

rMIX: We Specialize in the Restoration of Antique Tapestries - 10880

rMIX Ads: Offers/Requests | Antiquity

Code: 10880. We specialize in the restoration of antique tapestries, very precious and at the same time fragile fabrics. Tapestries are textile works of great value, which in past centuries represented symbols of wealth and power. Their value was further enhanced by their imposing size and the use of precious yarns, such as gold and silver. The technique of making tapestries is particularly interesting: the decorative pattern is not obtained with a continuous weave from one end to the other, but each weave passage is limited to the areas where a certain color is needed, thus creating the design. Restoring tapestries is a complex and fascinating process, often capable of revealing surprising results. The large dimensions require extreme care in movements, making it necessary to carry out each phase of the restoration with the utmost care and precision. The first phases of the intervention consist of an in-depth study of the tapestry and its superficial cleaning. Subsequently, we proceed with checking the stability of the colours and making the most damaged areas safe. The tapestry is then washed by immersion in specially prepared tanks, and the actual restoration work begins, which can be conservative or integrative, depending on the condition of the fabric and the owner's decisions. Finally, a cotton lining is applied to the back of the tapestry, along with a suspension system that ensures proper display.

Code: 10879. I am a restorer of ancient and valuable fabrics accredited by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. The world of fabrics to be restored includes a wide variety of artefacts, including flags, banners, altar frontals, embroidery, lace and crochet . These objects can be made with different fabrics both in terms of material and type of workmanship. Examples include elaborate fabrics such as velvets, lampas and jaspers, as well as simpler ones such as satin, canvas and woven. Often, these artifacts are enriched with metallic thread decorations, various types of inserts and ornamental borders. Because of these characteristics, the restoration of fabrics requires an in-depth study of the original production techniques and a preliminary analysis of the condition of the piece. Subsequently, the restoration intervention is planned, carefully selecting the most suitable materials. Conservation techniques will be applied respecting the integrity of the work and, finally, in agreement with the owners, the most appropriate display method will be decided.
