Jafri Rug restoration will do the following: 1. Assessment Condition Check: Examine the rug thoroughly for any wear, damage, or stains. Pay attention to the edges, corners, and the weave for signs of fraying or holes. Age and Authenticity: Identify the rug's age, provenance, and original materials. Persian rugs are usually made of wool, and the dyes used can range from natural to synthetic. 2. Cleaning Dusting and Vacuuming: Carefully vacuum the rug to remove dust and dirt. Use a low-suction setting to avoid damaging the fibers. Washing: Depending on the rug's condition, it might require professional washing. If you are cleaning it yourself, use a mild, pH-balanced wool cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals. Stain Treatment: Treat stains gently with a damp cloth and wool-safe cleaning solutions. For stubborn stains, seek professional help. 3. Repairs Weaving Damage: If there are any missing sections of the rug, they can be rewoven with matching yarn. This is a delicate task that requires an expert, as it involves replicating the original weaving techniques and patterns. Edge Repair: The edges, or "selvages," might need reinforcement. If the edges have worn out, they can be rewoven or bound to prevent further fraying. Hole Repair: For small holes, a professional weaver can patch them by weaving new yarn into the damaged area, carefully matching the original design and texture. 4. Dyeing and Color Restoration Fading Colors: Over time, the colors of Persian rugs may fade due to exposure to sunlight and wear. Color restoration can involve re-dyeing certain sections to match the original colors. Natural Dyes: If the rug originally used natural dyes, you'll want to find a restorer who specializes in natural dyeing to maintain authenticity. 5. Fringe Restoration Fringe Damage: Fringes often get worn or dirty over time. They can be reattached or recreated using yarn that matches the original color and texture. Re-weaving the Fringe: For significant fringe damage, it might need to be completely re-woven.
