OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
CARE AND handLing OF ART OBJECTS
d. Arms and Arnor: Arns and elements of arnor are subject
to damage in many ways. Such materials should not be handled by
the inexperienced except under competent direction. Always han-
dle with gloves as fingor marks cpuse rust. Any exposure to
dampness should be avoided.
e. Jewelry: Never place cotton in direct contact with
jewelry. It will catch on delicate parts, may loosen settings
and thus cause loss of stones. Wrap jewelry in tissue first and
then in cotton, if added protection is needed. (Ivories, enan-
els, and old glass should be treated in the same way, that is,
wrapped in tissue first, then in cotton.) Staff supervision is
necessary when working with jeweled objects.

a.
Tapestries and Rugs.
(1) Never lift mounted textiles so that ell the weight
is borne by the fabric alone. Use the supporting
bar, roller, or stretcher for lifting and handling
textiles.
(2) Avoid stretching, tugging and pulling. Textiles
which seem to be sturdy are frequently old, worn
or repaired. They teer easily.
(3) Removo screw eyes, wires, or other projections
before rolling textiles on supporting bars .
In
storage such projections wear through and injure
fabrics permanently. Roll tapestries and rugs
evenly, avoiding wrinkling and creasing. Roll
lined material face out.
(4) Rugs and tapestries on rollers should not be pick-
ed up by one man or grasped at the middle of the
bar. Use two men, one supporting each end, for
greater protection of this type of material in trans-
it.
