Dear List Friends, I am writing on behalf of Kory Berrett, Objects Conservator at Berrett Conservation Studio in Pennsylvania. We are attempting to locate vintage silk velveteen or short-napped velvet , burgundy, to replace fabric mounted on several 12" square frames. The fabric that is on them is a very worn silk velvet, very short nap, that has reached the end of its life. The frames belong to a museum collection and they wish to have the fabric replaced, and want replacement fabric as close as possible in fiber and appearance to the original. The original is a very short-napped silk velvet, l ike a velveteen, in a blue-toned burgundy (as opposed to an orange-toned burgundy.) If anyone can help us locate vintage silk velvet, short napped, in burgundy, please contact me off-list. I will be most grateful. Sincerely, Pat Keller Patricia Keller, Curator Berrett Conservation Studio 401 Covered Bridge Lane Oxford, PA 19363 berrett@xxxxxxxx (610) 932-2425 phone (610) 932-8955 fax (voice contact required prior to sending fax) |
