| Summary |
Textile Conservation demonstrates the development in the role and practice of the textile conservator and captures the current diversity of textile conservators' work. -- The book focuses on four major factors which have influenced development in textile conservation practice since the 1980's: the changing context, an evolution in the way conservators think about objects, the greater involvement of stakeholders, and technical developments. These are all integral to effective conservation decision-making. -- Includes case studies from the UK, USA and mainland Europe and Asia -- Assesses the conservation of objects in some of the world's major cultural institutions -- Highly illustrated in full colour to show the effect of conservation in practice -- Textile Conservation is a reference manual for textile conservators, textile conservation students and museum and heritage professionals. --Book Jacket. |
