The National Trust in the UK is hosting an appeal to raise funds for its work, and also hosting a contest which will give the lucky winners a special access day trip to see some of their expert conservation methods at work. If you donate, you are automatically entered to win a trip for two to their studio to watch them repair some of these delicate and priceless artifacts.
You can also check out the appeal for some highlights of what they are currently working on, and it’s a very interesting list. No gorgeous Elizabethan gowns at this time, but you can be sure they have restored them in the past. In any case, I’m in love with pretty much all of these tapestries.
If I lived in the UK I would be entering this contest in a heartbeat – unfortunately for me winning a day trip to see these magicians work behind the scenes on some fascinating antique tapestries and fabrics would also require a trip overseas. However, if anyone else is close enough to win, this looks so much fun!
The Textile Conservation Studio also has its own blog- click here, where you can scroll through and see examples of past work and get more information on what they do. It’s so fascinating I know I could spend hours pouring through it.

My favorite project is the King James II bed and accessories… is that a stunning piece of furniture or what?

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet
the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people
consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You
managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects
, people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get
more. Thanks
