Laser cleaning of tarnished silver and copper threads in museum textiles

Résumé

Recent developments in laser techniques in the conservation field have allowed us to test the laser cleaning of tarnished silver and copper threads in textiles. The experimental samples were copper and silver plates that had been artificially sulphurised as well as silk bands dyed according to traditional procedures. The experiments were carried out with different Nd3+:YAG lasers emitting infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiation. The work has focused on optimising the cleaning process to control the side effects (whitening or yellowing of silver and reddening of copper) produced. Tests were also conducted on real artefacts, and the results are discussed.
