Fabric wall coverings need to be cleaned with great care. Over the years they absorb smoke, fireplace soot and other pollutants, which leads to accelerated degradation. 

Wall coverings can be accidentally destroyed by overly aggressive cleaning and should be treated by a conservator.

From September 2001 to June 2002, Museum Textile Services participated in the restoration of historic Gillette Castle in Hadlyme, CT. Gillette Castle is the second most visited tourist destination in Connecticut. Built between 1914 and 1919 by actor William Gillette, the castle is an eclectic example of American Arts and Crafts sensibility with a darkly romantic, 

European flavor.
