Conservation and Restoration of Archaeological Textiles. A Child’s Dolman from the Seventeenth–Eighteenth Centuries

Summary/Abstract: Several archaeological textiles were discovered in 2019 during the rehabilitation works of the Calvinist Church in Huedin. A child’s dolman was among the items of clothing found in the crypt. The dolman is a three-dimensional piece of clothing made of green silk brocade ornamented with vegetal motifs arranged in 4.5 cm wide vertical registers. Its components were assembled by hand stitching with running stitches using silk threads. From the moment the piece arrived at the National Museum of Transylvanian History, it went through several conservation restoration processes meant to restore its structural integrity. The undertaken treatment allowed for its display and storage in optimal conditions.
