textile analysis

Textile analysis involves examining fabrics and fibers to identify their composition, origin, and properties. It helps determine the type of material used, how it was manufactured, and its condition. This process can involve microscopic examination, chemical tests, or specialized instruments to analyze fiber structure and dye compositions. Textile analysis is valuable in various fields, including art conservation, forensic investigations, quality control, and fashion history, providing insights that support authentication, preservation, and understanding of textile objects.
