Abstract
Abstract The treatment strategy implemented for Masonic Aprons from the Masonic Collection of William Hesketh Lever is described and evaluated. The aprons encompass a wide range of materials and techniques: silk, leather, linen, and metal components; printing, painting and embroidery. The collection is to be displayed at the Lady Lever Art Gallery, now part of the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, at Port Sunlight on the Wirral. The collection is important for two main reasons: the early date of many of the aprons (most pre‐date 1815) and the fact that the collection is now in public hands. The history and development of aprons in Masonic ritual are outlined as understanding of their use and context helped inform treatment decisions, and three case studies are described in detail.
