Persian Rug's Fringes Completely Cut Off and Glued!

We recently finished repairing a Persian rug that had been previously repaired by someone else.  Normally, we do not like to comment on work done by others, but in this instance, we had to advise the client that the repair done not only damaged the rug, but compromised the integrity of the pile.  The previous repair person cut off all the damaged (and undamaged) fringe (!) and then sewed on a selvage cord that is usually done only on the vertical ends of the rug.  Then, the repair person glued the selvage cord to stop the pile from unraveling.  In our opinion, this work does not even qualify as a repair, much less a restoration.  In order to undo some of the damage, we took out the selvage cord that had been glued onto the rug and this is what it looked like from the back:  

The whitish area is the glue residue.  We tried removing as much of the glue as possible.  We then rebuilt the entire fringe so that the pile could be protected.  We did not reknot any of the missing pile, but that will not affect the integrity of the remaining pile.  We then bound the newly created fringe to minimize the risk of unraveling.  Below is the final result.  Bad repairs can be undone, but the cost can be significant in terms of anxiety and time.  --www.traditionalrugrepair.com
