How do I hang a textile safely?

Mount the embroidery on a padded board covered in acid-free fabric to distribute the weight evenly across the entire piece. Avoid direct sunlight and keep the textile away from sources of heat or dampness to protect the fragile silk fibres.

What is the difference between a Suzani and an ilgich?

A Suzani is typically a large wall hanging, bed cover or domestic spread, while an ilgich is a specific smaller dowry embroidery format created by Lakai tribes. Both feature rich silk embroidery on woven grounds, but their traditional household functions and dimensions diverge significantly.

Can I clean an antique silk panel?

Surface dust can be gently removed using low suction through a mesh screen, but washing should be left entirely to specialist textile conservators. Water can cause dyes to bleed and brittle silk threads to fracture during handling.

How do I date an English sampler?

Makers frequently stitched their names, ages and specific years directly into the composition alongside alphabets and topographical designs. Stylistic cues in the border motifs, figures and framing materials help corroborate the stitched date.
