Why Repair?

Fringe unraveling

Stop loss before it spreads.

Secure the Ends

Hand overcasting, fringe reconstruction, or period-correct knots prevent further loss and restore a clean, authentic finish—without stiff glues or tapes that harm fibers.

Edge wear & curl

Stabilize, straighten, and protect

Reinforce the Perimeter

We rebind edges to match the original look and strength, then block the rug to lie flat. The result is safer, stronger edges that resist future fray.

Holes & tears

Repair structure, not just surface.

Reweave to Integrity

We rebuild the foundation (warp/weft) and re-knot pile to match density and design. For budget projects, we can stabilize and patch from behind—always with clear options.

Moth or dry-rot damage

Stabilize early, save more

Clean, Stabilize, Rebuild

Conservation wash removes residues and larvae, we stabilize weakened areas, then infill or reweave as needed—protecting the piece you love from progressive loss.

Color bleed & stains

Recover design clarity.

Correct & Tone

We address dye migration and discoloration with targeted correction and tone work. Some transfers can’t fully reverse; we set expectations and achieve the best authentic blend.

Our Process

Consultation & Intake

Photos at pickup; on-site tagging; insured chain-of-custody.

Specialist Assessment

Fiber ID, weave structure, dye behavior, damage mapping; repair vs. restoration options.

Conservation Cleaning (as needed)

Dry soil removal and hand wash so repairs bond to a clean, relaxed foundation.

Stabilization

Stop active loss at edges, ends, or breaks; prepare the field for precise work.

Yarn Sourcing & Matching

Fiber, twist (S/Z), pile height, and dye character; hand-dyeing if required for a proper match.

Execution

Overcasting/binding, fringe reconstruction, foundation rebuild & reweaving, color correction/toning, or backing remediation.

Final Groom & Inspection

Pile set, edges checked, corners verified; before/after photos and care guidance included.
