Why did the customer contact us?

Jafri Rug restoration has been serving the Hudson Valley for over 45 years and the type of work they perform is true artisan work.

Restoring a hooked or woven rug requires a very precise weaver who works in this particular type of rug. The first picture shows the rug has holes and damage in the field of the rug. Additionally, Jafri Rug restoration will fix the following:

The rug had a few issues:

-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

• 
  

  
  Inspecting the rug's condition: identifying damage (loose
  loops, stains, dry or brittle backing, etc.).
  

  
  


• 
  

  
  Testing dyes for colorfastness using
  damp blotting methods.
  

  
  


• 
  

  
  Assessing structure: determining whether the rug is

  method choice.

  Photographing before cleaning to
  document condition.

cleaning without fiber loss or dye bleeding.
