I wish they did many more up close shots of the work. Discussing technique in both the initial making and subsequent restoration and modern restoration.
It’s so very beautiful. I wish I could see it in reality. How clever you are to be able to do this work. I would love to know what training is needed to get you to be able to do this.
In some cases, handling fragile things requires the fine sense of touch of bare fingertips. The conservator could assess areas of damage by simply touching the object, and the use of gloves will render this nearly impossible. After preliminary examination is complete, the actual conservation could begin and gloves may be used depending on the technique needed in conservation. And oils could be removed with soap!
The cloth was _possibly_ part of the voluminous skirt ladies wore. It was subsequently cut and arranged to cover the alter at Parish Church in Bacton..
Saw this up close at Hampton Court on Dec 2019. Lovely looking material (I still question whether it’s QE dress; that’s just an assumption based on where it was found. It could be another noble woman’s dress; there were many just as rich families in England at the time that could afford things like this.
creativelobster it would have been carefully replaced with another fabric that would support it. As the conservator said the aim was to restabilise it and prevent any further deterioration.
Their hands are very well scrubbed, so as not to get oils on the fabric. The reason is that they need to be able to feel the textiles and also gloves can snag and damage friable textiles.
it's amazing! but... why didn't anyone say that the size of this dress-shirt is incredible, it's huge, it's clearly visible at 3 and 4 minutes, because the size of this clothes is only suitable for a giant, the girls are sitting at the table on which these clothes are laid out and restorers seem small compared to this shirt-dress... Was Elizabeth 1 a giant? an ordinary person will "drown" in these clothes, the arm span of a modern person is much less, I think twice, than the sleeves of this shirt! We are well aware that these clothes were made for a huge queen, which means that a human-woman is not at all of our civilization!
I wish your conservation videos were longer, ten minutes at least. I want to know every detail of the process, I can't get enough of this stuff.
Hear! Hear!

Thank you. The needlework is incredible!
How exciting! Thank you for working so hard to preserve this important piece of Elizabethan history!
I saw it in february. Really beautiful

What an astonishing project this must have been!
When this was displayed, were viewers able to see the more colorful back of the textile?
There is a very interesting article about this in Country Life magazine.
I'm surprised to see it handled with bare hands and not gloved hands, to keep additional contamination from oils, etc. off of the cloth...
For fragile papers and fabric, you need to feel what you're doing. So, that means no gloves, just very clean and freshly scrubbed hands.
Gloves can snag the fabrics and aren’t worn with textiles.
I wonder if this REALLY was worn by Good Queen Bess

I’m surprised that no gloves were used when working with the fabric. Oils exist on hands, would that not further damage the fabric?

Gloves also risk snagging the friable textiles.
How does one wear an altar cloth?

Someone please kill the loud background music making it difficult to hear the presentation.
I don't like the idea of removing someone elses' conservation. it's part of the history of that object.
Earlier conservation work can actually be causing damage.
@@michaelmontagu3979 it can also be saving it.
@@xr6lad True, it will have saved it when done.

Yes, conserve it by removing the things that were conserving the colors and integrity of the back of the cloth...

I'm sure the people working on it know more about conserving textiles than a random person on the internet.
@@namewithay as we’ve seen by many things destroyed by conservators never questioned.
Why are you guys doing this bare handed? The oils in your skin can degrade the work.

I would imagine they know what they're doing.
@@___LC___ lol. And hands start producing immediately scrubbed. Don’t miss up oils with germs.
Subtitles? For someone speaking clear English??? And no I’m not in Britain. Jesus the Box tickers really need to justify jobs don’t they.
You know, not all of us have your perfect hearing. Are you saying that people with hearing problems just should not watch youtube?
A thousand hours!? I would have 100% thrown that "object" in the trash.
