1. Inspection and Assessment

• The
  first step in Jafri Rugs restoration is a detailed inspection to assess
  the extent of the damage. This includes evaluating areas of wear,
  unraveling threads, fading colors, and any holes or tears in the rug.
  Special attention is given to preserving the original design and integrity
  of the stitching.

2. Cleaning Before Restoration

• Before
  any restoration work begins, the rug must be cleaned thoroughly. Cleaning
  ensures that any accumulated dirt or stains are removed so that the
  restoration work can be done on a clean surface. This also helps identify
  areas that may require special attention during the restoration process.

3. Reweaving Damaged Sections

• Reweaving:
  If the rug has areas of missing or damaged stitches, skilled artisans can
  reweave the missing sections, matching the original patterns and colors as
  closely as possible. This requires a high level of expertise to ensure the
  new stitches blend seamlessly with the rest of the rug.

4. Fringe and Edge Repair

• The
  fringe of a rug is often subjected to wear over time. If the fringe is
  frayed or missing, it can be reattached or replaced by hand, ensuring that
  it matches the original design and material.


• The
  edges of the rug may also need reinforcing or re-binding if they have
  started to unravel. This can be done by re-stitching or using a similar
  material to secure the edges.

5. Dyeing and Color Restoration

• Color
  Fading: Over time, the dyes in a hand knotted rug may fade due to
  exposure to sunlight, wear, or improper cleaning. Skilled restoration
  experts can re-dye the affected areas using professional, colorfast dyes
  to restore the rug’s original hues.


• Matching
  Colors: When dyeing a rug, it’s critical to match the colors exactly
  to ensure that the restoration is seamless. This process is usually done
  by hand to ensure accuracy.

6. Final Inspection

• Once
  all the restoration work is completed, a final inspection is conducted to
  ensure the rug is restored to its original condition. The rug is checked
  for any missed areas, color inconsistencies, or stitching issues that may
  need to be addressed before it’s returned.
