The Turkmen Rug Repair


Damage to the edge of a rug's border or side cord is a common problem we are asked to repair.  These areas are particularly vulnerable to damage because of pet bites, heavy furniture being moved on the rug, chair legs being dragged on and tearing the rug, or other similar trauma to the area.  The Turkmen rug (or Turkoman rug) pictured above was in fine condition with the exception of the damaged edge.  We repaired the compromise warp, reknotted the pile, and reconstructed the side selvage.  The bottom picture shows the results of our repair. --www.traditionalrugrepair.com
