Basing on the example of two suits of liturgical robes the author discusses two different kinds of conservation procedure applied in the Atelier of Textile Conservation in the National Museum in Cracow. The first suit is made of a chasuble and two dalmatics from Italian lampas (ca 1600) with a Nałęcz coat of arms of Piotr Gębicki, a Cracow bishop. In that case all objects were taken to pieces and cleaned, while damaged parts of the fabric got protected on a cotton base. In all silk parts a net was made with the thread laid vertically every 5 mm and supported every 4—5 mm, while the threads from a metal weft were protected with diagonally set 2-mm stitches (in 2 threads). The stitches imitated an original mode of tieing metal threads through a warp. As a result of this treatment, protecting stitches in damaged parts gave the impression of an authentic structure. The second suit is a chasuble and two dalmatics from the end of the 16th century with a Rola coat of arms of Jan Tarnowski, a Poznań bishop. It was made from silk velvet brocade. In that case conservation treatment was carried out without disassembling the object. It consisted in cleaning, putting pieces of cotton under damaged parts and fastening loose silver and silk threads to them. The author emphasized the value of the first, more labour- consuming, technique which allows to restore to the fabric technical performance and aesthetic appearance. She also points out usefulness of the second technique making possible a display of the object but giving the protection for a short time only.
