Job completed for Customer in Ravena

Completion date: April 3, 2025

Customer type: Commercial

Location: Ravena, NY

About this project:

This is an example of a classic Persian Sarouk that was in need of not only cleaning and repair but also shearing
The purpose of shearing/shaving the pile of a rug is that over time if a rug is left outside or has accumulated dirt, dust, ash, water damage, the particles form a crust on the top of the pile of the rug. For this Jafri Rug restoration did the following:
-Antique cleaning where the rug is soaked heavily for days in a tub of hot water
-The rug is then brought to a dry room
-The rug is then dusted
-The rug is then applied with an olive oil foam rather than harsh chemicals which can cause color run/color bleeding

Following cleaning the rug is then sheared with a machine and then clipped by hand which allows for the rug's original vegetable dyes to show
The rug was newly made, however the first pic details what can happen in a period of time where the rug is not cared for
Pic two shows the post cleaning and shearing process, where the royal navy comes out and the rose on the borders pops as well
