Before and after treatment.


Cleaning paint layer.

Situations arise where a new approach to preservation and stabiliataion is necessary. The small group of four Civil War era flags is such a case. The flags were nailed to the inside of an oak paneled wall cavity and sealed tight. The site had no place for large mounts to fully support the flags on. A three-dimensional mount was created that the encapsulated flag was wrapped around. The orientation of the flag was to mimic the original.
