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
