NAPERVILLE ORIENTAL RUG REPAIR

Collectors of antique area rugs understand that these one-of-a-kind hand-knotted area rugs can’t simply be replaced. Persian, Chinese, Indian and other Oriental Area Rugs are often hand-knotted by artists in remote villages who have spent their life practicing weaving techniques that have been passed down for centuries. Each area rug is a masterpiece in its own, reflecting the personal designs, artistic vision and even mood of the artist himself. This means that no two rugs are ever the same. So, when your Oriental area rug becomes damaged, we understand not only the monetary depreciation in value that comes with it, but the great personal loss that one feels when they see a rip or tear, or loosening of threads.

PROFESSIONAL RUG REPAIR

Examples of damages will differ, but our rug repair pros at Naperville Oriental Rug Cleaning Pros are always up for any challenge. We pride ourselves on our ability to expertly match the original weaver’s design and create seamless repairs that make it virtually impossible to tell it was ever damaged in the first place. Here is a list of typical repairs our clients have come to us for:

Re-stitching loose edges and fabrics — Loose edges aren’t just an unsightly look, but can lead to more serious damage if not quickly addressed. The edges of rug, often hand-knotted, are what holds together each thread of fabric into its tight, intricate design. With properly securing the edges, you risk unraveling a design that was done by a master of his trade. Because we spend so much time working with rugs from all different areas of the world—China, Persian, Turkey, etc.—we have a deep understanding of the various weaving techniques and can mimic the original look of your rug when re-securing the edges. Once we’re done, you’ll feel relieved to no longer worry about other potential damages, and feel confident showing off your newly-fixed rug.

Replacing or repairing torn and missing fringe -- Most rug owners have a love/hate relationship with the fringe on their rug. It’s a beautiful way to frame in the intricate religious and tribal symbols that are so beautifully adorned throughout your Flokati, Oriental or Tribal area rugs, but it is also the part of your rug most prone to damages and staining. Another important factor to consider is that fringe is actually the skeleton of your area rug, meaning damages there could lead to very serious, and sometimes irreversible, damage to the entire structure of your area rug. Our experts can not only replace broken and missing fringe replicating the same knotting techniques used by the original artist, but can also provide deep cleaning and even recoloring to return it to its original stark-white color.
Patching holes -- Most rug owners think that their rug is beyond repair when they noticed a large hole worn into it. This type of damage can be common in older rugs that have received excessive use, had other rips or tears that were never addressed, or have held up heavy furniture for many years. The good news is, our repair experts love that challenges that come with large holes. This is done by creating a patch of material that replicates the original design and strategically weaving into the existing rug. We study the techniques of hand-weaving artists from around the world and relish in the opportunity to closely match their original work. It may not be the same hand touch that the original artist has spent their life perfecting, but it will be so close that you’d have a hard time remembering where that hole used to be.
Stitching in loops for wall-mounting — Hanging area rugs is a beautiful way to decorate a room (and to protect your textile from spills and foot traffic). However, trying to sew in loops on your own or improperly hanging your area rug can actually lead to more damage to your area rug. We are experts in this area, and have helped many clients safely secure their rug to the wall while making it available to easily remove these loops in the future if they’d like to use it as a floor covering again of if it’s passed onto or sold to another owner.
