17th century gold leather wall hanging restored
27/05/2011
After two years of cleaning and restoration work, a gold leather wall hanging in Schloss Vollrads (Castle Vollrads) is now complete.
For Gerd Weiss, president of the conservation authority, the work is “a very special case”. Such well-preserved wall tapestries from the 17th Century are rare, partly because they were so expensive to make, and partly because Schloss Vollrads, in a valley above Oestrich-Winkel, near Frankfurt, survived all military conflicts since it was constructed between 1680 and 1724.
