For hand-knotted rugs, my reweaving and reknotting services meticulously repair areas of loss or damage. This intricate process involves rebuilding the foundation (warp and weft) and then individually tying new knots, perfectly matching the original pile, color, and design. This ensures a seamless restoration that not only preserves the aesthetic beauty of your rug but also its structural integrity and historical value
For flat woven rugs such as kilims, my reweaving process addresses areas of damage by reconstructing the missing or compromised sections. This involves carefully rebuilding the warp and weft threads, with attention to replicating the original weave structure, tension, and color palette. The goal is to integrate the repair seamlessly, maintaining the rug's original appearance and the integrity of its flat, even surface
Beyond reweaving, I also address a wide range of other common rug issues. This includes specialized repairs for selvedges (the sides of the rug) and fringe, which often experience wear. We also have expertise in repairing hooked rugs, working to restore their unique texture and design. Regardless of the type of damage, I am to find a suitable and effective solution for your rug.
