TEXTILE CONSERVATION

Fabric of Life has provided specialist textile conservation services throughout Australia and internationally since 1995 to help you preserve and display your own treasured textiles.

​

Textiles we treat represent a diversity of cultures, regions and historical time periods. Professional conservation enables objects of beauty, interest, sentimental value and cultural significance to be enjoyed by present and future generations.

​

Whether you have a unique item yourself, or are responsible for the care of a museum collection, Fabric of Life has the expertise to preserve and care for your special textile.

​

We have provided textile conservation treatments on many textiles including Asian ikats, weavings and batiks, samplers, embroidery, tapestry, flags and banners, furniture, ecclesiastical textiles, curtains, wedding dresses, christening gowns, militaria, uniforms and vintage costume.

​

We can also provide advice on choosing the right textile for your home and can prepare the perfect display system.

​

Request free advice and we will provide a treatment proposal and quotation to let you safely store or display and use your textile.
