We are grouping quilts, banners, flags, clothing, beaded items, woven art, needlepoint and petitpoint, and misc. textiles together because we see similarities in treatment issues. These types of items are rarely called by a common research-able name (chair, sofa, etc.) so all posts relating to this topic are under here with links.
Above, an image from a textile that underwent repair for a historic furniture treatment,
the Gothic Sofa from Hearst Castle. Furniture textiles are not listed here.
