The purpose of repairing rare
and valuable carpets is to restore the original
beauty and physical integrity that may have been
damaged by years of use. This is
accomplished by recreating or reweaving portions
of the carpet through either the surface pile
or, in the case of holes, even the underlying
foundation as well. Such restoration requires
enormous technical skill and precision as well
as discernment in the matching of yarn texture
and color. This process requires expertise and a
refined eye to match the original texture of the
carpet so that the repair will not be
detectable. The extent of restoration that may
be required in both time and expense depends not
only on condition, but also on the value of the
carpet in relation to the cost of the repair. A
knowledgeable firm in antique carpets with
market expertise will make this decision. Such
restoration can make a damaged piece usable and
commercially viable once again. But ultimately
the greatest reward in repairing an antique
oriental rug is the knowledge that a rare and
beautiful work of art is being preserved for
generations to come.
If you would like to have your rug repaired,
either email us a picture of the damaged area from
the backside or simply bring the rug in for us
to take a look at it. No matter what has been
done, Aras Rug Company has the knowledge,
experience and skill to repair and restore your
rugs as good as new.
