An extra note! Au Ver a Soie was established over 200 years ago. Soie d'Alger is the go to choice for museum restorations. When experts restore tapestries at the Louvre or the Chateau Versaille, they are often using the exact same thread types and colours that Au Ver a Soie produced in the 19th Century. |
