The atelier of the Central Textile Museum in Łodź carries out — on a regular basis — the preservation of objects that are the property of the Museum. They include tapestries, gobelins, carpets, embroided silk fabrics, kontush sashes, flags, robes, fans and today’s artistic fabrics. n each individual case the most suitable technique is applied. Because of a big variety of items it is difficult to find a proper way of procedure. The biggest difficulties are encountered in case of modern fabrics made with different techniques and usually from materials of poor quality.

From 1984 tapestries from the palace of the Mielzynskis at Pawłowice have been undergoing conservation in the Central Textile Museum in Łodź. They were most probably made in France in the 1st half of the 19th century. These hangings are 24 gores of the material sewn together and 4 over-door hangings. They are made from silk satin with embroided grotesque and figurai scenes. After making a series of chemical studies, the textiles were cleaned on special frames in short water baths containing some detergent, at 23°C because of instability of colouring. At present work is being done on doubling the tapestries on a new base by means of a traditional protecting net. Once it has been completed, all the work will be presented in more detail.
