Textile Conservation Studio
Is your antique in danger of becoming history?
Time takes its toll on the fragile artifacts that give meaning to our personal and collective past. Museum Textile Services protects history by providing textile conservation and collections care for collectors and collecting institutions.

The role of an art conservator is to repair damaged historic material, preserve structurally sound historic material, and mitigate processes that lead to the damage of historic material. A textile conservator specializes in historic clothing, textiles, and other fiber-based artifacts.
Work can take place either on-site, in our two-story tapestry annex, or at our new 2000-square-foot conservation studio in Andover, Massachusetts. We share with our clients both respect and appreciation for the history and beauty of textiles, and a commitment to documenting and preserving them for future generations.
