A colleague in the furniture restoration laboratory is restoring a 19th century
card table. The green felt fabric is very deteriorated and the curator of the
collection would like to have it replaced. «Telio» in Montréal has been
contacted, they have a felt fabric, but the green is rather bright - the
original fabric is a darker blue-green shade. Any suggestions as to where this
type of fabric could be purchased would be greatly appreciated.
