Our conservation team was faced with an all too common problem when they started the conservation of the Queen Anne throne canopy; how would they conserve the missing emblems? In this video, our conservators explain why they have chosen to create replicas and how this differs from conservation. We also learn about the detailed and complex work that goes into creating these replica emblems from the embroiderer. Conservation work on the Queen Anne throne canopy continues at Hampton Court Palace.
Acquired with the assistance of the Art Fund. Conserved with assistance from Lord Barnby’s Foundation, Idlewild Trust, The Radcliffe Trust, The Leche trust, Broadley Charitable Trust and the Worshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers alias Wire Workers. We are grateful for their support.
