How do I hang a textile securely?

Mounting historic textiles safely requires distributing the weight evenly across the entire upper edge. Technicians often utilise a fabric sleeve stitched to the reverse, through which a flat wooden baton is inserted and fixed to the wall. This prevents the tension from pulling on individual threads or damaging the original wool and linen ground fabric.

What periods do these textiles represent?

The pieces span from the seventeenth century through to the early twentieth century. English crewelwork examples represent the earlier centuries, whilst tribal rugs and tent bands originate predominantly from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each era brings distinct dyeing methods and structural conventions particular to its geographic origin.

Are these items authentic antiques?

The inventory comprises genuine historical textiles sourced from various periods, ranging from seventeenth-century English crewelwork to nineteenth-century tribal weavings. Each piece bears the structural wear and material characteristics consistent with its stated age. Examining the reverse side reveals the hand-spun nature of the wool and the ageing of the foundational canvas or linen.
