Conservation of an 18th Century Court Dress
Historic Royal Palaces
@historicroyalpalacesAbout
We tell stories about the monarchs you know, and the lives you don’t. Historic Royal Palaces looks after six sites: Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace, Banqueting House and Hillsborough Castle. Together these sites tell 1,000 years of history, from the royal families that chose these palaces, to the many lives of those that lived and worked alongside them. We are a charity, and your support gives the palaces a future, for everyone. Stay tuned for new videos on Wednesdays two or three times a month.

Video Description
The Rockingham Mantua is an exceptional example of an 18th century court mantua, with its wide skirt and priceless craftsmanship. It was probably worn by the Marchioness of Rockingham for George III’s Coronation, as a show-off display of wealth and status. When preparing historic fashion for an exhibition, a lot goes on behind the scenes. Join our talented conservators as they practice safely mounting this historic dress for display.
