Repair

Repair of your rugs

The art of restoration originates from Persia, where great weaving families once resided. Their techniques have been passed down from generation to generation. The work with wool and silk is not something that can be improvised, and not everyone can become a rug repairer. Even today, repairs are done by hand. The weaving techniques of each country of origin are known and respected. We step in as a true "doctor" for your ailing rug. If you wish, the work will be carried out before your eyes.

Repair of borders and fringes
starting from €50 per metre.

The repairs:
most common types

Fringes: it's common for a rug's fringes to become damaged. We can preserve the existing fringes and reinforce them with stopping stitches. But when they are too damaged, we replace them by implanting new fringes.

Borders: just like the fringes, the side edges of a rug are more exposed to foot traffic and tend to get damaged. The repair is relatively simple and involves reconstructing the damaged borders, advancing millimetre by millimetre.

Wool restoration: sometimes it's the body of the rug that is damaged, even torn. Whatever the cause of the deterioration – moths, cat scratches, or simply wear and tear – we replace the wool and, when necessary, the warp and weft of the rug.

Colour revitalization: prolonged exposure to sunlight tends to fade all or part of your rug. In this case, we restore the areas that have lost their colour and return your rug to its original splendor.

Repair vs Restoration

Repair focuses on restoring damaged areas by addressing localized damage. Restoration, on the other hand, aims to return the rug to its original splendor and preserve its heritage, working in a more comprehensive and thorough way.

These two approaches complement each other harmoniously. Each one requires specific skills and expertise. Our team takes great care to provide tailored interventions, ensuring not only the rug's durability but also the preservation of its history and beauty.
