WILMETTE ORIENTAL RUG RESTORATION
Rug restoration becomes complicated after damage and even the natural wear and tear that it is exposed to from foot traffic. Whether it’s caused by the sun’s ultraviolet radiation penetrating down on it day after day, a house full of kids and pets and even guests, or simply a spill that caused the stain or even the beater of a vacuum cleaner catching some strands and yanking them out, rug restoration may be necessary. Restoring delicate fabrics and materials like handmade silk and wool is a complicated process.
The older an antique rug is, the more delicate the materials, the more important it is to have the right experience and precision on hand to adequately restore and repair these fine rugs. Rug restoration is most effectively broken down into two key fundamental processes: visual and functional restoration. While there are numerous points to detail out with regard to proper restoration, by breaking them down into these two key fundamental components, it makes it easier for our prospective customers and clients to understand the process.

RUG RESTORATION PROCESSFirst, visual restoration. Most commonly visual restoration techniques are focused on discoloration. Color loss can occur in a variety of ways, most often due to staining, age, and even extreme exposure to direct sunlight. The cause of discoloration can have a direct impact on what techniques and strategies are most effective to employ in the restoration process. It can also have an immediate effect on how difficult it is to fully restore a particular Oriental or antique rug. Some area rugs can also be affected by improper or harmful cleaning methods. Mold, coffee and wine stains, and even burns are some of the most challenging discoloration problems we face through the years. Having exceptional knowledge of every material is essential to understanding the process and giving restoration the greatest chance of success. Without a deep knowledge of the various materials, dyes, and methods used in designing and creating these rugs, more damage — potentially permanent damage — is possible. When we finish a job, our goal is to ensure no one is able to tell that rug was even discolored in the first place.
Second, functional restoration. Beyond just a visual issue with regard to damage caused to any area or Oriental rug involves functional restoration. Insects are some of the most common causes of extensive damage to antique and Oriental rugs over the years. This can be caused when these rugs are rolled up and stored in a damp, musty place. Mold is also another key problem that can significantly damage these gorgeous rugs. Water and smoke are also factors that can cause functional damage and require extensive restoration work to help bring them back to the vibrancy, color, look and feel of their original tenor. Keep in mind that it’s not just on the surface that makes these area rugs so unique; it’s also what’s in the material and throughout. |
