How Do You Care for Antique Silk?
Antique silk is delicate and requires proper care to preserve its beauty and history. To protect your treasured silk textiles, store them in a cool, dark, and climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and humidity. Always handle antique silk with clean cotton gloves to prevent oils from damaging the fibers.
Use acid-free tissue paper and archival storage materials when keeping antique silk safely packed. Avoid washing or cleaning antique silk at home, as improper cleaning methods can cause irreversible damage. It’s also important to protect silk pieces from pests such as moths by regularly inspecting stored textiles.
