Cosmetically Repairing a Hand Knotted Persian Tabriz Rug

Before

After

Couple of weeks ago we received a beautiful Tabriz Rug which was unfortunately damaged. The Warp And Weft of the Tabriz Rug were torn apart. This could be caused by hard pulls on the rug, uneven and not fully drying the rug, steam cleaning, using harsh and strong chemicals by those who did the last cleaning on this beautiful huge hand knotter Persian Tabriz rug. Our customer took the rug to several places and he was told that The Oriental Rugs could not be repaired if they had damages like this. We loved the challenge. Fortunately we were capable of handling the job so we Professionally Repaired and Restored the Persian Tabriz Rug. With the mix of blocking and many repairs done by our master weavers, we managed to bring the rug back to life. The rug is in a much better condition than it was and is ready to be put back on the floor and used for many more years.

Oriental, Persian, Area Rugs Carpets and Kilims for Sale in Los Angeles

During the past few days, many people have stopped by with rugs in the trunk of their cars for sale. These rugs have included Persian American Sarouk rugs, Hand knotted Persian Tabriz rugs, Turkish kilims, Isfahan rugs, Silk Qum rugs, Indian rugs and many more.

I always tell them this is not the right way of selling a rug and rug dealers should not be your first choice in this journey. Before your start selling your rug, try to know your rug and if you're not sure about the details of your Oriental carpet or area rug try to get an appraisal. If you do not exactly know what you have, how could you sell it? After you get some information on your rug, try to find an end user and a private customer. Selling on the Internet maybe a better option than putting the rug in the trunk of your car and driving around the town to find a potential customer, a dealer who has tens of unsold rugs himself!!

I will write more on this in the near future.
