Turkish Oushak Rug Ruined by Sitting Water - Final Result
Above is the final result of our recent Turkish Oushak rug repair . It had been ruined by sitting water that was left in a potted plant that was resting on top of it. We recreated the warp and weft and reknotted the pile. As a reminder, the photo below shows what the area looked like before our project. Water is the enemy of all hand woven textiles. More specifically, sitting water. It is good to always check heaters, air conditioning units, and any leaky windows that could be spilling water onto a rug . The last thing you want to discover is a rug with rotting fibers! -- www.traditionalrugrepair.com
