Default scared to wash

[ATTACH=CONFIG]524273[/ATTACH]These beautiful bow ties were part of an estate sale, they are hand stitched and just such a pleasure to work with. The fabric looks to be from the 70's. I would have had to sacrifice one of them for a burn test and haven't the heart to do so as I'd like to use the remaining two for pillow shams.

So my question just have it dry cleaned? Would that "set" the colors.

This is intended for my older sister that I dearly love, it is for her guest room which doesn't see many visitors so she would only have to have it dry cleaned very occasionally.

Your help would be greatly appreciated
