Chicago area expert to restore antique embroidery?

Mount Prospect, IL(Zone 5b)

Hi, my real name is Dana and this is my first time posting on this forum, I'm usually over in the gardening forums. I live in the Chicago suburbs and I recently inherited a piece of antique embroidery that was originally a chair seat or back. I'm pretty sure it's over 100 years old and possibly quite a bit more. The stitching is very delicate and some is starting to come out; I'd like to get it repaired/restored before I reframe and hang it. I have no idea how to even start finding someone who could do this kind of work. If anyone has any leads I'd appreciate it! Thanks!!
