| description | A historical and scientific analysis was carried out on a historical textile from Sahebgharanieh
Niavaran Palace’s collection. The examination shows that the sample under study is
embroidered in Pateh technique. It belongs to Iran, dated around late 18th Century, from Qajar
dynasty period. To conserve and restore the textile sample under study, the material
technology on its fiber, weave and motif were identified. The scientific analysis shows that the
fiber is made of wool, with Twill weave technique, decorated with embroidered fiber made of
silk. With the help of SEM-EDX method of analysis it is detected that the fabric contains a
great value of silver and gilt scythes using metallic thread with delicate silk yarns. Motifs used
in the fabric are of paisley leaf with decorative motifs of plant and animal embroidered
beautifully. The Fabric was graphically documented by microscopic and macroscopic methods
and its degree of damage was assessed. This leads to the implementation of conservation,
restoration and display techniques, which was carried out in the textile division of
Sahebgharanieh Niavaran Palace Museum. It will be discussed in detail later in the paper. The
paper employs scientific analysis and SEM-EDX method to analyze the historical textile. The
major aim and objective of the study is to know the materials and contents from which the
textile is made in order to know the best restoration and preservation method that may be
applied in preserving and conserving the historical textile and the likes of it. |
