Storage suggestions for silk banner?

 

I need to store a silk banner made in the late 1800's to early 1900's. Can you provide recommended proper storage advice?

You’ll find valuable tips for caring for antique textiles on the Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute "Taking Care" pages. Scroll down the sidebar menu on the right for all their tips on handling and storing textiles (as well as other associated artifacts you might find with them, such as receipts, boxes, photographs of it in use, or other). You can also find guidelines on the resource center of the American Institute for Conservation.
