Abstract	:	A large richly embroidered eighteenth-century silk textile belonging to the Graduate Study Collection at the Fashion Institute of Technology was selected for a conservation treatment. Many of these early textiles impose similar concerns for conservators and collections managers within museums – weakened fibers, faded colors, tarnished metal, and various campaigns of repairs that have either become too stiff or weak as to threaten the textile. The entire graduate study textile was made up of four large panels of the same size – three running vertically, and one joined to the bottom of the proper right panel. One panel was chosen as a model for treatment and this paper documents the conservation of the panel, which was found to be in very fragile condition, suffering from its own age and extensive past repairs which had become threatening to the textile. The past repairs were removed and the first round of conservation was undertaken using extensive couching of the degraded silk onto a new silk backing. After reexamination of its limited and slow success, a revised treatment was proposed and the textile was stabilized using solvent reactivated adhesives.
