Vintage Turkish Rug Repair

This vintage Turkish rug had a significant tear - actually hole - in one of its corners.  We do not know what caused the damage, but we suspect that it was caused by heavy furniture being dragged on the rug.   The damage extended to the areas surrounding the hole and compromised a significant part of the warp in one corner of the rug.  When we received the rug, the hole was slightly smaller than what is visible in the pictures above.   Before commencing the repair, we had to extract all the compromised areas, including the compromised warp and pile surrounding the hole.  After that, we began reconstructing the missing section using cotton for the warp and wool for the pile, conforming to the original materials.  --www.traditionalrugrepair.com
