Intervention of conservationist restoration of a nineteenth century roman chasuble in taupe lampasso fabric,
Restauro conservativo di una pianeta del 1700 in tessuto lampasso color tortora, with floral embroidery and silver metallic yarn handmade gallon.
The surface of the vestment is covered with a significant layer of dust which causes the fibres to dry out and become dry. There are also abrasions on the chasuble’s centre, probably caused by the use of the work, and small degrades in the gallons.

Removal of surface dust by indirect suction with a graduated speed vacuum machine
Washing with pH neutral detergent solution and rinsing with demonized water on low pressure table.
Fastening of the metal yarns and application of protective micro-net to protect the areas of greatest degradation
