Upholstered covers can sustain a lot of damage, particularly at the edges

The edges were rebuilt so the covers could be re-upholstered

A small section of this tapestry had completely come away

A patch from contemporary tapestry was inserted to rebuild the edges

The canvas beneath this needlepoint had worn away, leaving a hole where the embroidery used to be

The canvas structure was re-threaded and the embroidery replaced

The corner of this cushion had been chewed by a mischievous puppy

The corner was rebuilt before re-making the needlepoint into a cushion

This tapestry fragment depicting a Roman figurehead had been badly repaired in the past.

The old repairs were removed, allowing the warp threads to resume their natural line. Wools and Silks were then stiched in place to restore the design.
