Jafri Rugs restored this rug to its former condition by doing the following: 1. Moth Damage in the Field Moths can cause significant damage to wool rugs, especially when the rug is stored in a humid or dark environment. For a moth-infested Persian Kashan: • Inspection and Identification: The rug would be carefully inspected to assess the extent of the moth damage. This involves checking the front and back of the rug for signs of infestation. • Moth Treatment: The rug would be treated to eliminate any remaining moths and eggs. This usually involves a deep fumigation process using eco-friendly chemicals or freezing the rug to kill any pests. • Re-weaving or Repairing Damaged Areas: The affected areas would likely require reweaving or patching. The damaged wool would be carefully removed, and new wool fibers, typically dyed to match the original, would be woven into the affected areas to restore the rug's appearance. 2. Worn and Faded Medallion The medallion is a central feature in Persian Kashan rugs, and significant wear or fading can take away from the rug’s beauty and value. • Color Restoration: To restore the faded medallion, professional dyeing techniques may be employed. This could involve carefully re-dyeing the medallion area using natural dyes or color-safe synthetic dyes. This process is done with precision to match the original hues and avoid dye bleeding. • Reweaving/Restoration: If the medallion’s pattern is worn down to the point of damage, skilled artisans may need to reweave the intricate design. This involves painstakingly replicating the original design and colors. 3. Fringe and Binding Unraveling The fringe and the binding are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic of the rug. • Fringe Repair or Replacement: The unraveling fringe would need to be reattached or replaced, depending on the extent of the damage. A professional would often restore the fringe by knotting it back into place using similar fibers (wool or silk, depending on the rug’s original material). If the fringe is too damaged, it might need to be completely replaced. • Binding Reinforcement: The edges and binding would also be repaired. This could involve stitching new binding material (usually wool or cotton) onto the rug’s edges, followed by a careful reinforcement of the stitching to prevent further unraveling. A careful color match is essential to keep the aesthetic intact.
