NAPERVILLE AREA RUG FRINGE REPAIR

area rug fringe repair
The white, frilly fringe is a beautiful finishing layer of an antique Oriental area rug. However, it isn’t simply an ornate feature intended to frame your rug’s masterfully crafted design; it is a very functional, and extremely important element of the construction of your rug. In authentic, hand-knotted area rugs, the fringe is the byproduct of the wool, silk or cotton that was used to create your rug. This means damage here can just be the start of further damage down the road. Unfortunately, fringe is also one of the most delicate and vulnerable of areas for most rugs. It naturally hangs loose, often getting tangled together, caught on the paws of pets, stepped on by muddy shoes and torn by furniture edges. Still, there isn’t any extent of damage that our rug repair experts will turn away from. ​

Area Rug Fringe Repair

We always urge clients to take fringe damage seriously as it is not just an ornamental piece of your rug, but a very important element in its structure. Untreated damage to a rug’s fringe often leads to much larger structural problems. Many clients who had failed to address broken, torn or missing fringe quickly regretted their decision to ignore it. This type of damage can lead to unraveling of your rug, an extremely difficult repair to make. While we pride ourselves on the ability to match even the most intricate authentic hand designs, the fact lies in that it still isn’t the same. That said, the best way to avoid this costly, and inauthentic repair, is to address any fringe issues as soon as they occur.  

​Call us today for your free consultation and to see how we can repair and restore your fringe along with any other cleaning and repair needs you may have.  ​
