- Abstract
- This qualifying paper outlines the historical context of a framed Jacquard silk illustration, as well as its conservation treatment and remounting. The large, framed Jacquard silk illustration is part of the Graduate Study Collection at the Fashion Institute of Technology. This paper will outline the significance of Lyon, France, as a silk industry and weaving center, as well as Jacquard's contribution to the textile and weaving industries. This paper explores the challenges of treating a framed object only the front part of which was partially visible during the initial examination. The conservation treatment's goals were constantly reevaluated and shifted as the needs of the textile changed. The conservation treatment of this woven silk illustration included conservation methods, including removing adhesives, custom dyeing, applying a new adhesive support, and rehousing.
