Turkish Oushak Rug Ruined by Sitting Water

 


This lovely Oushak rug had a pot with sitting water on it for an extended period of time.  Over that time, that area of the Oushak eventually became wet allowing the fibers to rot and disintegrate.  Water can be the enemy of our most precious rugs so it is very important to not allow sitting water to rest on a rug either in a pot, or a leaky radiator, or anything similar.  In our next posts, we will share how we restored the damage and brought this beautiful Oushak back to life.
