Hearst Castle's®
Flemish Sofa!

MPF Conservation
had the pleasure to conserve
William Randolph Hearst's Flemish Sofa,
shown installed in
the Gothic Library of the Hearst Castle® after treatment, above.
Our team included Stan Derelian, tapestry conservator, and an example of his
amazing reweaving
and repair
can be seen in detail in the photos at the bottom of the page and
in the
documentation offered below.
This is not the treatment document, but a PDF meant for public
viewing:

Special Thanks to the
Friends of the Hearst Castle
for funding this project!
We have two slideshows available for viewing the process of conservation of the
Flemish Sofa.
The shorter one is an edited version of the longer one.
Depending upon the sped of your computer, it could take several minutes to
download.
The slideshow can be viewed on Windows Media Player:
