and that for this price will be difficult to sell.

Here you are wrong by 100%, the main buyers of carpets, various textile products: Emirates, the United States, France, the Islamic world .. people are very rich as you ponimaete.Problema one: very few things ..
(I did that for a long time when he lived in Tashkent).

as Peter in the palaces, old silk wallpaper change on the replica.

This is the usual stupidity, Russian (Soviet) museum staff .. Same as in the Tretyakov Gallery to replace all the pictures on modern copies, but will certainly beautiful, but a modern copy, she has a copy (absolutely uninteresting thing)

If the silk and wiped the image faded, it seems, the price is right. Silk can not be restored because

. The price is almost vliyaet.Tsena increases sharply, from time izgotovleniya.Kusochek carpet 16 th century, can cost as the ten most beautiful 19 th century tapestries.

Eugene, and if silk fade, then how can we assess what it depicts? or is it restored?

is being restored?

Typically not restore unless torn ..

[Meister]

Eugene, that is, even if it is faded and is a piece of cloth with pale color inserts in some places, it is still estimated by date of creation?

[Евгений]

Agree. It faded and frayed cloth, which is not seen nothing at all. During that money to invest here? And how can you confirm that this is some former masterpiece? Interestingly, examination of such works being done? Question ACG.

And, in my opinion, rightly so museums (palaces) that such change, sorry, squalid masterpieces even in modern replica. By the way, this turns an expensive replica of the production, as is done on an individual project using old technology. That is, all by hand.

[Konstantin]

Funny. You offer all the antiques to replace the "replica" because of potrepannosti and decay. And to keep the prices?
In my opinion the value of antiques, sorry for the banal, in the old days.
And sometimes in disrepair.
When antique shines like new, I'm having doubts about the authenticity. In addition to jewelry, of course.

that there money to invest

You're wrong, the main buyers of rare carpets (as you write, faded and frayed cloth "), the super-rich Muslims .. and for the tattered carpet 16-17 century (and left in the world, hundreds of such products), the fight at auction not less than from Russian for Aivazovsky.
My opinion: in inete have a lot of information on antique carpets, textiles, read, you will be the topic understandable.
Tapestries 17-18 century, even more rare items than the carpet .. and the price is astronomical, respectively (the price of the flags that show).
Change the tapestry on novodily .. I have already written is a mistake.

Note, I wrote specifically about St. Petersburg's palaces, which visits the darkness of tourists. Purpose of these museums - to recreate the interiors of the past. And I remain convinced that they are doing right, changing nothing shows antique silk wallpaper on the replica. What would you have nothing to say.

These palaces visiting crowds of tourists and visitors is more important in this case to see exactly what the interiors looked like in the historical period. Museum workers and solve this problem. And, I must say, very successful. Honor and praise them for it.
