	abstract = {Textiles at the Moghadam Museum (Tehran, Iran) are considered a valuable heritage collection that has a historical
legacy of more than 2,200 years. They comprise a variety of weaving and stitching techniques, textures, materials,
patterns and designs, and they are from a wide range of national and ethnic people who lived in the Persian plateau
during the above-mentioned two millennia. The valuable collection was gathered by its founders, Dr. Mohsen Moghadam
and his wife, Mrs. Selma Kiyoomjian. They utilised different sustainable preservation techniques and restoration
methods, based on the historical value, size, and material of the textiles. After their demise, facilities limitations and poor
maintenance gave way to the occurrence of irreparable damage to the collection. High fluctuations of the environmental
conditions, in humidity and temperature, accompanied by low ventilation, resulted in the growth of fungi and the attack
of insects on some of the textiles. Exposure to light also paled the colours in some of the textiles. In terms of weaving
technique, three textile types are discussed in the present research study, including mixed-weaving technique (the
Parthian Empire, 247 BC till 224 AD), Ghalamkaar textiles and textiles with metal-threads (both during the Safavid
dynasty, 1501 AD till 1722 AD).},
