This is a very lovely rug, complex color mix and pleasing design. Thanks for sharing. For those who don't want to pay for rug cleaning, here is the DIY method that many carpet people use too: 1. You can clean rugs yourself - spread on driveway on shady day - hose down, gently brush with diluted woolite, squeegee soap off, rinse, squeegee, and repeat rinse cycle multiple times. Then leave on sloped driveway to dry away from sun. 2. I did not like the quick fix on the missing square of rug. Professional rug sellers would repair that with knotted wool just like the original, and weave in some flat jute backing, then do knots on it. There are no shortcuts in life.

Not a restoration by any stretch of imagination! I felt so sorry for the owner for having to accept that as restoration for such a beautiful piece of art! I would have repaired that for free just to save the rug from being cut out like that.

I completely agree with you I would not pay for this and I also would do it completely for free just so it wouldn't be destroyed I think the same way when I see a decaying mansion on the side of the road being turned into an apartment people just don't know how to do the same craftsmanship anymore

My family has been in the Oriental Rug business since 1929. That is not a repair...more like a hatchet job. A proper repair would be to mount the area with a weaving frame, re-insert cotton warp and weft as a true foundation and then hand knot ghiordes or sehna knots depending on the type of rug or the actual knot used in the rug. Our firm has only glued a thin canvas on the back of a rug as a very last resort if the rug is brittle and falling apart and you are trying to save the look of the rug...however, this completely ruins its value.

Pity the owner of the beautiful Persian rug, no need to cut a hole. It was a matter of weaving the wool / silk threads back into the rug. Wow, if that’s professional I think I’ll do my own repairs.

So you decided to go out and invest in a antique carpet that is a BIG investment. Why cut corners if you want to preserve the the carpet and the value of said carpet you should send it out and have it re-weaved, in for a penny in for pound.
