Bed coverings such as these were made to be used every day, and therefore often shows signs of wear. Edges may be torn or discolored, a coverlet may be unraveling, or certain fabrics in a quilt will decay faster than others. Conservation treatment can sometimes repair a quilt or coverlet so that it can be reused.
With old or fragile pieces, however, an alternative wall mount may be suggested. Cleaning and packing in an archival storage box can also provide an ideal setting for the long-term preservation of your historic bed covering.
