Art textile galleries
Textile works are the most fragile category most galleries handle — and the least well-served by generic gallery software. Aurelian's textile module gives you the fields, workflows, and condition reporting your program actually needs.
Fiber & weave
Silk, wool, linen, cotton blends. Weave structure, thread count, loom type where relevant.
Dyes & stability
Natural vs synthetic, known fugitive dyes, light-fastness notes for display planning.
Mounting & display
Velcro strip, magnet mount, tension frame, hanging rod, mannequin — recorded per piece.
Condition at intake
High-res photos of front, back, and detail areas. Notes on losses, repairs, staining, insect damage.
Storage & environment
Recommended humidity, temperature, and light limits for each piece; rotation intervals for display.
Provenance & maker
Maker, region, date range, known collections, exhibition history — all searchable.
Textile programs run heavy on consignment and museum loans. Aurelian tracks agreed loan periods, condition reports at intake and return, and per-consignor commission — with photo-backed evidence at every stage.
Textiles are more sensitive to light, humidity, pests, and handling. Condition tracking needs richer fields — fiber, weave, dye stability, mounting method — and photographs at multiple resolutions.
Yes. Custom fields per item type let you record loom type for tapestries, pattern and construction for garments, and shared conservation notes across everything.
Yes — per-consignor commission, agreed loan periods, condition reports at intake and return, and payout tracking are all built in.
Move off spreadsheets and generic gallery tools that were never designed for fragile, condition-critical work.
