- Abstract
This study is carried out to investigate the possibility of preparing artificial deteriorated dyed textile samples simulated to deteriorated dyed ancient textiles, to be used as experimental samples in historical textile conservation researches. In this study new wool textiles were dyed with 10 natural dyes common used for dyeing of textiles in Egypt in different historical periods. Different mordant were used in this study to produce different colours from each dye. The dyed wool samples were artificially aged by light for various periods. The changes in the colour of dyed wool samples after aged by light were observed visually. Also the changes in the CIE L*a*b* parameters L*, a*, and b *values (ΔL*, Δa*, and Δb*) and the total change in the colour (ΔE*) were calculated. The results show that yellow dyes are the most sensitive tested dyes to light aging. Madder is most tested dyes fastness to light. This study informs that the colours that we see on historical textiles in the museum may be different than their original colours in the past in the moment of their production. The obtained results show that it is possible to prepare artificial experimental wool textile samples simulated to faded ancient ones. These artificial experimental wool textile samples can be used for conservation researches, and the practical training of textile conservators. However the exposure time required for preparing these samples depend on type of the dyes. Some of tested dyes such as indigo, cochineal, Lac need about 80 hours and other dyes such as turmeric needs about 5 hours only.
