Jafri Rug restoration identified the following during their inspection:
The rug is completely worn and torn across the field and borders
The vegetable dyes have completely faded, requiring color restoration
Reweaving will be required

The rug is threadbare and will require the same type of wool to be matched in the motifs that are worn

Solutions provided:

Jafri Rug Restoration will do the following:

Cleaning:

Gentle Cleaning is essential for preserving the fibers and colors. Using harsh chemicals or cleaning methods can cause the colors to fade or damage the wool. Professional dry cleaning or washing with mild soaps and water is recommended.
Vacuuming with a low-suction vacuum is often used to remove dirt and dust without disturbing the delicate fibers.
Repairing Damaged Areas:

Reweaving is required for areas with wear, holes, or fraying. Skilled artisans will carefully match the original design and weave to restore damaged sections without altering the original look.
Edge Repairs: The edges need reinforcement to prevent fraying and maintain their structure.

Padding should be cut to protect the warp and weft

This will take approx 5 months to restore
