Uniforms, equipment, and other sports memorabilia present a special challenge to conservators because their damage and stains are a key component in the stories they tell.
Whether you require fumigation, cleaning, repairs, or display solutions, we will work with you to customize a conservation treatment that meets your specific needs and goals.
Museum Textile Services has a genuine appreciation for sports history and we take a special interest in preserving items for museums and private collectors alike. Contact us for advice on how investing in the care of your items can protect your long-term investment.
