Rug Restoration
Antique rugs can undergo all sorts of damage in their long lifespans. They can become faded from sun exposure, the fabric can become ragged and threadbare, or they could have stains on them from food and drink spills, pet accidents, or mud tracked in from outside.
If you have an antique Persian or Oriental rug in need of restoration, bring it to SoCal Rug Masters. Our expert team can restore your rug to perfect condition, so that you and your family can continue to enjoy it for generations to come.
Rug Restoration
Some of the causes of rug damage can include:
-
Foot Traffic: Especially in well-used rooms like living rooms or bedrooms, foot traffic can wear down a rug over time, causing it to become compressed.
-
Furniture Imprints: Similarly, if heavy furniture like couches or cabinets sits on a rug for a long time, it can leave permanent imprints.
-
Vacuuming: Vacuuming a rug too aggressively can fray the fabric, or even pull at sections of the rug and rip them off.
-
Pets: Pets may scratch at and chew on rugs, gradually pulling them apart, not to mention accidents that can stain the rug.
-
Sunlight Exposure: Direct and prolonged sunlight exposure can bleach the colors out of your rug and weaken the fibers.
Rug Restoration Techniques
All of these problems can be addressed with proper rug restoration. Our craftsmen are skilled in a variety of techniques, including:
-
Trimming loose and frayed fibers
-
Reattaching loose binding
-
Reweaving missing sections of the rug to match the original pattern using the same type of material
We also give the rug a thorough cleaning. Persian and Oriental rugs are meant to last for generations, and you’d be amazed to discover how much dirt and debris can accumulate in that time, and how bright and vivid your rug can become with a professional rug cleaning.
Our team is knowledgeable about rugs from a variety of cultures around the world. Weaving and dyeing techniques, plus the patterns of a rug, are intimately tied to the culture that produced them. From Grecian flokati rugs to Persian kashan rugs, we respect the craft that went into these handmade art pieces and take the utmost care with rug restoration.
