We do full repair and restoration of all handmade oriental and area rugs. Whether antique, semi-antique, or modern, all rug repairs are done by hand. This requires a great deal of experience and patience. The Oriental Rug Pros staff provides major and minor restoration using original antique rug conservation techniques. Your rug is handmade, so we repair it by hand.
We perform edge repair and restoration. We also perform major and minor reweaves. This may involve creating new selvage and carefully matching yarns and colors. We are adept at the Persian Dabble Knot. And we routinely perform the Belgian stitch to stabilize the rug. In cases of severe damage we can also perform down-sizing of rugs.
Color restoration or enhancement involves using the original vegetable dyes. We de-oxidize for look and longevity, then stabilize the colors, and reconstitute the Lanolin factor. The final step is a U.V. protectant. Moth-proofing is also available.
