Why did the customer contact us?

This is an example of an antique circa 1900 French Aubusson Savonnerie. The rug is in worn condition with the following:

-Moth damage in the field that ate thru the motifs which requires reweaving and color restoration
-Fringe destroyed which requires fringe implant
-Faded vegetable dyes which requires brushing the rug with oil and vegetable dye to bring back the original color of the rug

Solutions provided:

1.Inspection and Identification: Jafri Rugs carefully inspected to assess the extent of the moth damage. This involves checking the front and back of the rug for signs of infestation.
• Moth Treatment: The rug would be treated to eliminate any remaining moths and eggs. This usually involves a deep fumigation process using eco-friendly chemicals or freezing the rug to kill any pests.
• Re-weaving or Repairing Damaged Areas: The affected areas would likely require Jafri’s weavers reweaving the entire field. The damaged wool would be carefully removed, and new wool fibers, typically dyed to match the original, would be woven into the affected areas to restore the rug's appearance.
