Tapestry double cloth. Cotton. (Original Artwork)

The original jacquard woven tapestry is a double cloth. The weaving has cotton yarns in the warp and weft.

Care Instructions 

All Artwork is best preserved if care is taken to ensure they are correctly stored and displayed.

Storage

When tapestries are not hanging it is best to roll the tapestry with a core support. Use acid free paper and protect by covering with an inert material such as polyethylene Tyvek®.

If creases do appear in the textile during storage, then the tapestry can be carefully ironed on the reverse side using a low heat and a protective material between the iron and the textile surface.

Hanging

Avoid hanging the artwork in direct sunlight.

Cleaning

The safest way to clean the tapestry is by vacuuming. Use the hoover nozzle and hold the nozzle 5 - 10cm above the textile to reduce the suction pressure. To prevent scuffing or pulling loose threads, cover the nozzle itself with muslin, fine net or stocking, which can be held on with an elastic band.

If the tapestry requires further cleaning, then wet cleaning or solvent cleaning should be undertaken by a professional.
