​From common rug repairs such as rug edges to more complex repairs. A well-executed oriental rug repair can restore your rug and its beauty, maintain or increase value, and keep rug usable for generations.

A stitch in time saves nine
This applies to rugs; not all repair has to be expensive; timely addressed small common rug repair and stabilizing ,..a stitch here and there can save you big money.
​
Securing loose or frayed ends and rug's edges saves you from much more costly repairs later. We work to stave off significant repairs from the ravages of time, elements, and wool moths and wear with a stitch in time.
Repair Cost
Repair costs can vary widely based on several factors. Due to the wide variety of weave qualities and uniqueness of different styles of hand-woven rugs, there isn't a standard repair price. This makes over-the-phone estimates sketchy at best; quality photos of the front and back of the damage are needed for price estimates.
​
Some variables that affect repair costs
​
Type of rug: Finer weave, for example, a high knot count Persian rug repair takes much more time Vs. The same repair on a coarser tribal rug
Type of Repair: Small stabilizing costs 30 dollars and up, binding and hand serging is more labor intensive. Reweaving is time-consuming complex repair to restore a rug to original condition and starts at several hundred dollars.
​
Materials: In some cases, special materials need to be sourced, dyed or spun for projects adding to additional costs

Oriental rug reweaving is expensive and not always a financially logical option. In this case, it was, and we used the original production yarns from this Turkish rug producer to repair this rug and restore to its original condition. We carry a large library of wool, cotton, and other natural fibers from our travels worldwide to repair oriental rugs.
Reweaving a rug is a highly specialized labor-intensive skill.
