Thorough documentation and condition assessment are essential first steps in textile conservation. We provide detailed examination reports, condition summaries, and treatment proposals that inform responsible care plans for historic and heirloom textiles.
Documentation is an integral part of any treatment. An initial report details the steps, materials, and time to treat the textile. A condition report and post-treatment report document the treatments used, accompanied by a before-and-after photographic record for visual comparison of the treatment.
This service can be used separately from treatment services to document for insurance claims or to determine a baseline for storage or transportation.
At Heritage Textile Conservation, Nickole view's documentation as an essential first step in any treatment. It provides a baseline record and visual comparison of conservation treatment. The condition report is a required document that details the conservation steps, materials proposed, and estimated time to treat the textile. Â
