Pre – Inspection

The first step that we take is to examine your rug very thoroughly and note down areas that need repair. With this done, we come up with appropriate repairing solutions that can be implemented without appearing out of place or affecting the quality of the rug. We also brief you about the techniques that we would be using and after your approval, we being with our handmade process for repairing oriental rugs.

Fringes Repair

The fringes are the often the most worn part of oriental rugs. We make use of proper materials and repair the fringes. We are aware that fringes are the foundation of oriental rugs, and so we do this very carefully so as not to damage your rug in the process of rug repair. We secure the end of the fringe by strong stitches and prepare it as a base for the new fringe. We then lay the new fringe on it and affix it in place. The original fringe ends are cut shorter so that they become noticeable, giving way to a neater appearance.

Overcast Stitch

An overcast stitch anchors the knots of the rug in their appropriate places so that the rug does not unravel. We take about an inch of the rug’s original fringe and knot it into a consistent row from left to right. We do this properly, and there the over stitch will never get undone, maintaining the longevity of your rug.

Side Repair

All along the length, the Oriental rug is held in place by the side cords which secure the rows of weaves in their position. If the side cord is not secured properly, we add more stitches. In a completely worn out side cord, this may not work and so we replace it with a new one. After fixing this, we wrap it in a material that goes with the color of your rug.

Color Depreciation

If your rug has lost color during a wash, it may be possible to repair it. We dye it again in the same color and the appearance improves considerably.

So if your Oriental rug needs a repair, let us know. We are sure you are not going to be disappointed with what we have for you.
