ETNOGRAFİK TEKSTİL ESERLERİN KORUNMASINDA RESTORASYONUN ÖNEMİ VE UYGULAMA SÜRECİ
IN THE PROTECTION OF ETHNOGRAPHIC TEXTILE WORKSTHE IMPORTANCE OF RESTORATION AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: Throughout history, Turkish people have produced decorative-applied works of art that reflect their own culture. Textile artifacts, especially clothing, are among the oldest examples of material culture. Textile works, which have an important place in our cultural heritage, are unique works that cannot be repeated according to their high quality processing technique, color and pattern. Turkish embroideries, by adhering to their roots in terms of technique and composition, witness the history of the Turkish people. Textile artifacts, which are the ambassadors of our cultural history, are subjected to careful protection and repair works against the corrosive effects of time. Preventive studies are carried out in museums and in warehouses and laboratories affiliated to museums in order to transfer the artifacts, which are examples of material culture, to future generations. In the category of museums with a rich collection of ethnographic textile works, the Ethnography Museum, affiliated to the Istanbul Beylerbeyi Sabanci Maturation Institute of the Ministry of National Education, is included. Restoration and conservation practices of textile works included in the organic works group are carried out by the experts of the Restoration and Conservation Laboratory, which was established within the Institute in 2018. In our article, the restoration and conservation process of the work named "Yaglık", which is registered in the museum inventory and has inventory number 92, will be discussed.
