Comment: My grandfather purchased an hand knotted oriental rug in the late 19 th or very early 20 th century . After more than a hundred years of use in our family the rug had become thread bare , the edges were tattered. , the colors had faded , and it had several small tears. In addition a small piece of the edge of the rug had been torn away and lost . Because of the rug’s intrinsic and sentimental value spanning four generations , we decided to invest in repairing and restoring it . After contacting multiple dealers we were so fortunate to connect with Humza at Jafri Rugs . After over four months of work Humza and the Jafri team were able to restore the rug to its original beauty . We were thrilled with the quality of their work . Humza’s responsiveness to our questions and concerns , and his warm and accommodating demeanor made the entire process a pleasure . I highly recommend Jafri rugs for repair and restoration of antique rugs .
