We have used storage from Crystalizations Systems for some of our rolled textiles: http://www.csistorage.com/moving-rolled-textile-storage.php

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Textile Storage Equipment

Good Morning,

My name is Nydia and I am an intern at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens  
(Vizcaya for short) in Miami, FL. I am currently assisting in the  
Collections and Curatorial Sciences Department at Vizcaya on a  
Textile Storage Project.

Vizcaya has large textiles such as carpets, rugs and tapestries that  
we are to roll on tubes covered in acid-free tissue paper, then wrap  
in muslin and tie with twill tape. They are to be stored in an  
environmentally friendly area and I was wondering if anyone had ever  
had to store large scale textiles before? What were your methods?  
Were there specific racks used for storing them? Are there any  
specific companies that stand out?

Any information regarding the storage of textiles would be greatly  
appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Nydia
