Upon inspection the Jafri Rugs observed the following:

The rug had enormous dirt build up which took away from the rug's value and also the color of the rug was faded as well. Afghan Bashir's are typically made with heavy vegetable dyes and are soaked for days prior to being made on the loom.

Key Steps in Preserving and Restoring a Afghani Bashir Rug:
Detailed Inspection:

An initial inspection by an expert ensures that all areas of wear, damage, or fading are identified early. This step allows the restoration team to understand the extent of the work needed and prioritize actions like color restoration, re-weaving, or cleaning.
Deep Cleaning:

Gentle, expert cleaning is crucial to remove dirt, oils, and dust accumulated over the years. Professional cleaners will use techniques that do not damage the rug’s fibers, ensuring that the natural weave and colors are preserved. This may include hand-washing or special dry cleaning techniques designed for Persian wool and silk.
The rug must be cleaned gently to prevent the dyes from bleeding and to avoid damaging the fine details in the design.
Restoring Faded Colors:

Color restoration might be necessary if the rug has lost its original vibrancy due to sun exposure or age. Skilled artisans will use natural dyes and colors that match the rug's original palette to restore its appearance while respecting the integrity of the design.
Re-Weaving and Repairing:

For any areas of damage such as fraying edges, worn-out spots, or missing knots, re-weaving and repairs will need to be done. Skilled restorers will hand-reweave sections of the rug, carefully matching the original design and materials used.
Backing restoration may also be necessary, especially if the rug has become fragile or if the backing material has degraded with age.
Reinforcing the Structure:

As Bidjar rugs are known for their dense weave and strength, reinforcing the rug’s foundation and pile is essential to preserve its overall structure and prevent further wear.
The fringes and edges will also need attention to prevent unraveling. This may include re-fringing or securing the edges to ensure the rug retains its original form and appearance.
Proper Drying and Handling:

After cleaning, the rug should be air-dried in a controlled environment to prevent shrinkage or warping. Avoid direct sunlight during the drying process to prevent fading and fiber damage.
Storage should also be considered if the rug isn’t in use. It should be rolled and stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture and sunlight, to prevent any future deterioration.
