Rug Repair & Restoration: Preserve the Beauty, Protect the Value
A fine rug isn’t just a floor covering—it’s a piece of art, tradition, and craftsmanship. But over time, even the most durable rugs can show signs of wear, damage, or aging. That’s where rug repair and restoration come in — helping you protect your investment and keep it looking stunning for generations.
Why Rug Repair & Restoration Matter
From daily foot traffic to accidental spills, pets, sunlight, and time itself — rugs face many challenges. Small issues like fraying edges, loose threads, worn-out fringes, or fading colors can escalate into bigger problems if left unattended. Repairing and restoring your rug not only preserves its beauty and value but can also prevent costly replacements.
Common Rug Problems We Fix
Frayed Edges & Binding Damage:
Over time, the edges of a rug can wear down, unravel, or become uneven. Rebinding or re-serging restores clean, finished edges, preventing further unraveling.
Fringe Repair or Replacement:
Fringes are delicate and often the first part of a rug to show wear. Whether it’s reattaching, trimming, or replacing fringes, skilled artisans can bring back the charm without compromising the rug’s integrity.
Reweaving & Patching:
If your rug has holes, tears, or bald spots, expert reweaving or patching can recreate the original pattern using matching yarns and dyes, making damage nearly invisible.
Color Restoration:
Sunlight, stains, or aging can cause rugs to fade unevenly. Color restoration revives vibrancy, often using vegetable dyes or other traditional methods to match the original shades.
Pile Shaving & Resurfacing:
For rugs with worn or uneven pile, controlled shaving and resurfacing can even out the texture, making them look fresh and new again.
The Rug Restoration Process
Inspection & Assessment:
Every rug is unique. We start with a thorough inspection to assess the type of damage, the rug’s material, and its weaving technique.
Customized Repair Plan:
Based on the assessment, we design a repair plan, choosing the right materials and techniques to match the original craftsmanship.
Skilled Handwork:
Our expert artisans, often from generational weaving families, carry out delicate repairs using time-honored methods. Whether it’s hand-knotting, stitching, or dyeing, every step is done with care and precision.
Final Finishing:
After repairs, the rug is gently cleaned, reshaped, and checked to ensure the repairs blend seamlessly into the original design.
