Textile conservators in Middle East sought

We are looking for contact information ASAP for textile conservators
in Riyadh to ensure proper care and compliance to Federal
procurement guidelines on outsourcing conservation treatment of our
historic collections abroad. The State Department has in the Embassy
in Riyadh a hanging work of art that is a sculptural carpet composed
of monotone wool made to look like shifting sand dunes, which has
25-30 years worth of grime and exhibit exposure and requires a
conservation assessment and stabilizing treatment. The preference is
to minimize risk from handling and transport by finding the best and
most local option available in Riyadh or surrounding countries.
Please send contacts to tarnowskial<-at->state<.>gov.
