| Oriental Carpets Repairs and Restoration;
Damaged Oriental rugs and carpets can be repaired to give you many more years of use and pleasure. However it is important that repairs are undertaken by experts with the required special skills so that an effective repair is carried out depending on the extent of the damage and the age of the rug.
We have been in the business of repairing Oriental rugs of all types for over 20 years and have the experience to advise you as to the best course of action.
Repairing rugs is a highly skilled craft that is comparable in technique and experience with the rug manufacturing process. For example to repair a hole requires that a compatible yarn is found to match that of the surrounding rug so that the touch and feel of the repair is the same as that of the rest of the rug. The colour or colours of the yarn to repair the hole must be carefully selected so that it merges with the colours around it. The frayed yarn surrounding the hole must be dealt with depending on the extent of the damage, and finally the hole must be woven by hand using the appropriate knot so that it is practically invisible to the naked eye.
One should be aware that it is always advisable to fix a damaged or worn rug as soon as possible so that further damage can be averted. This ensures a better quality repair at a lower cost as well as retaining or increasing the value of the rug.
In cases where the rug is old (over 50 years) and valuable we will advise you what repairs should be done to increase its value and at the same time improve its appearance and usability.
We use handspun wool & tailor made vegetable dyes individually mixed for color matching to suit the needs of the rugs, and leading industry tools to handle your request with the up most effectiveness at affordable prices. |
| Oriental Rugs Cleaning/Washing;
|
(For woolen rugs) The beauty and life of handmade rugs depend largely on cleanliness and care. Handmade rugs should be washed regularly every three to five years depending on the use and the amount of traffic they bear. The best method is to get them cleaned when they look soiled. WARNING Never clean handmade rugs chemically or by steam. They remove the natural oils and cause the material to become brittle and wear more rapidly. Do not wash handmade rugs in a machine. Do not wring out or squeeze a handmade rug. Do not, unless absolutely necessary, submerge a handmade rug in water. Surface cleaning is usually all that is required. The best way to clean the whole rug is for it to be washed using cold water and a mild detergent. This should be done by a competent cleaning expert and should not be tried at home. |
