The Ancient Art of Rug Renewal

Rug repair and restoration is an ancient art that restores the original beauty of a piece. Many rugs lose their color and defined imagery due to age, overuse, or poor storage. At Esmaili Rugs, our technicians are trained in the craftsmanship required to recreate patterns, match colors, and restore damage. Our technicians treat each rug repair service as a conservation of heritage, not just a maintenance task.

Professional Oriental Rug Repair Services: Process Overview

If you’ve booked a rug renewal service with us, you can expect a very specific process that ensures exacting repairs.

First, we match yarn for precise colors and material consistency. Then, we protect the unaffected areas of the rug before starting any repairs. At this point, the team moves forward with reconstructing damaged warp, weft, and motifs. This may include restoring pile and reweaving intricate designs. Once complete, we bind the selvedges and secure the edges to prevent fraying, while rebuilding binding fringes to prevent unraveling.

If you have any questions about Oriental rug repair in Dallas, our team is here to address your concerns. Reach out for more details.
