Description

Upholstery conservator Heather Porter gets under the surface of our 18th-century Venetian chairs, and Curatorial Assistant Julia Van Zandvoort looks at fabrics for recovering them, made by a company in Venice that still uses 18th-century looms.

This is the second of three short films tracing the conservation of the chairs – see how it turned out in our next film.
