Default 125+ year old silk quilt advice needed

A friend was given a beautiful old (125 years +) quilt. She needs advice as to how to save her. It is made of silk and the silk has deteriorated in many places . Replacing parts is not an option. But she was wondering if there is a spray or something that can be used to protect what remains. She plans to hang it, not use it as a quilt. Any advice or direction would be really appreciated. I do not have a pic of it, but she will be bring it here next Saturday. I'll post pics then, but in the meantime I told her not to attempt anything til I heard from this great group. Thanks.
