  unraveling threads, fading colors, and any holes or tears in the rug.

  areas that may require special attention during the restoration process.

  closely as possible. This requires a high level of expertise to ensure the
  new stitches blend seamlessly with the rest of the rug.

  frayed or missing, it can be reattached or replaced by hand, ensuring that
  it matches the original design and material.

  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

• 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.
