Persian Rug Repair - Before

The fringes and selvages of Persian and Oriental rugs are usually the areas most vulnerable to damage.   The picture above depicts a damaged area of selvage with the warp still somewhat intact.  The rug is a modern Iranian rug from the Shiraz region.  

Above is a picture of the damaged area as seen from the back of the rug.  In our next post, we will share the result of this Persian rug repair. --www.traditionalrugrepair.com
