This paper presents concisely the results of the microchemical analyses made on Chinese embroideries and costumes, dated 18th–19th century, from the collections of the National Museum of Art of Romania, conserved in the last 40 years. Chinese textiles, historically well known, raise many problems due to the materials they are made of: very fine dyed or undyed silk, adhesive of unknown nature, paper metallic threads of different qualities, a different way of weaving and pigments used for decoration of tissues.
These kind of items were sometimes decorated with pigments used without a protective coating.
This caused important damages: the decorations depicted with blue, brown or violet pigments were lost together with the tissue.
