Rug Restoration
When seeking to preserve and restore textiles like rugs, tapestries and embroideries, we offer clients two options – either an integrative restoration or a conservative restoration – with the most appropriate choice usually dependent on the condition of the item. Our specialists can advise owners of the option that will provide the best results in their individual circumstances.
Integrative Restoration
An integrative restoration focuses on specific areas of damage, such as missing sections, lacerations and fraying to corners and selvedges (side edges).
Conservative Restoration
Concentrating on the structure of the textile as a whole, conservative restoration includes applying conservation lining, reinforcing the material and inserting wefts (areas of woven filling thread or yarn).
