The purpose of repairing rare and valuable carpets is to restore the
original beauty and physical integrity that may have been damaged by years
of use. This is accomplished by recreating or reweaving portions of the
carpet, either the surface pile, or in the case of holes, even the
underlying foundation as well. Such restoration requires enormous technical
skill and precision, as well as discernment in the matching of yarn texture
and color. This process requires expertise and a refined eye to match as
well the original texture of the carpet so that the repair will not be
detectable.
The extent of restoration that may be required in both in time and expense
depends not only on condition, but also on the value of the carpet in
relation to the cost of the repair. A knowledgeable dealer in antique
carpets with market expertise will make this decision. Such restoration can
make a damaged piece usable and commercially viable once again. But
ultimately the greatest reward in repairing an antique Oriental carpet is
the knowledge that a rare and beautiful work of art is being preserved for
generations to come.
