Job completed for Lake Placid Rug Cleaning and Restoration Customer

This customer required immediate assistance in restoring her circa 1900 needlepoint quality rug. This is a delicate rug that was hand knotted and is truly a one of a kind antique rug requiring an antique weaver.
This client required immediate assistance with her antique rug. The warp and weft was showing as this rug was heavily used for years.
This was a threadbare antique rug that required delicate precision.

This is an example of the inspection work Jafri Oriental Rugs performs on a rug:
-Fringe was fraying
-Binding was unraveling
-Moth damage was showing all throughout the rug
-Worn areas throughout the rug
-Warp and weft was coming through the pile of the rug

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
