We offer a full range of tapestry conservation services for tapestries of all sizes. Our services encompass all aspects of tapestry conservation, from initial assessment to final hanging. 

Prior to any conservation treatment we provide a full condition assessment and report, either on-site or in our studios. Treatments undertaken can include washing using our on-site facilities.

We offer a traditional conservation treatment which we recommend for weak tapestries with large areas of loss, including bare warps and extensive loss of weft. This treatment is carried out on a horizontal loom using a linen support and full conservation stitching. Using this method we reinstate areas of design loss according to your requirements, as well as provide a full support for your tapestry. 

Uniquely, we offer a less interventive and quick conservation treatment for structurally sound tapestries with minor damage. This service is carried out on an upright loom using a polypropylene support. This treatment is an ideal preventive care solution, providing a full support for your tapestry with minimal intervention. 

For tapestries in good condition we provide a support lining service. 

We are able to assist direct with on-site tapestry removal, transportation, packaging, and installation (including recommendations and instructions) and work with our clients to meet their unique needs. 

We also provide packaging and storage solutions; please see our Collections Management section for further information.
