Antique textile conservators have long recognized the advantages of enzymes in the textile conservation.

Most commonly, hydrolases enzymes are employed in the conservation of antique textile to assist in the breakdown of adhesive residues from previous restorations or to facilitate the removal of some stains.

The principal advantages of these enzymes are their specificity and efficiency in catalyzing hydrolytic cleavage of polymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids.

The applied section was carried out within the framework of an integrated treatment plan for an antique textile piece in the Museum of the Faculty of Arts.

The study included identification of fibers type and the direction of thread twisting through using scanning electron microscopy, which confirmed that the fibers of the piece are linen fibers except for the decorative part which is made of woolen fibers.

HPLC was used to analyze the natural dye and XRD analysis was used to analyze the dye mordant.

The weave structures used in the piece were examined to emphasis that it is a plain weave 1/1 and its derivatives.

The treatment was carried out by using pancreatin enzyme through a cotton poultice, in order not cause negatively effect on the woolen decorative stripes.
