Brandon Oriental Rugs - BrandonRugs.com - serving #BucksCounty PA and the surrounding region and counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with sales, rug cleaning, appraisal, repair and restoration services for REAL #orientalrugs

Back in the 1990's (back before the Apple iPhone, back before "apps"; almost at the dawn of the internet - to give you a sense of how long ago), our customers in #Doylestown PA (who had just moved into a newly built home) decided to apply good sense to decisions they were then making about the furnishing and decoration of their then #newhome.

Knowing the reputation of REAL hand-knotted oriental rugs regarding durabilty, cleanability, collectability and ability to maintain value versus ALL other #floor-covering choices, our #DoylestownPA customers chose a #real #rug for a casual #familyroom adjacent to their open-floorplan #kitchen area. 

Recently, (after over twenty years of daily treadmill-style wear-and-tear by the family) they asked Brandon to clean their rug and replace the fringe.


This is the hand-knotted Pak-Persian #orientalrug purchased from Brandon Oriental Rugs over twenty years ago (for which we recently completed #rugcleaning and fringe replacement.) 

It is seen here #like-new, back on duty in ALL ITS GLORY in our customer's #Doylestown PA home.
[Though the original fringe (after a generation of use) was still in excellent condition, our customer invited us remove the natural ivory fringe - actually part of the rug's foundation - and substitute a replacement fringe coordinated with the warm tones in the rug. The result is seen in the image above.]

Brandon Oriental Rugs - #BucksCountyPA - recommends cleaning and repairing your fine quality handmade rugs to preserve like-new appearance and extend useful life. 

Give your #orientalrugs some love; they're always worth at least what you paid for them.

For More Than a Generation Brandon Oriental Rugs - BrandonRugs.com - serves the Appetite for REAL Oriental Rugs in #BucksCounty PA (and the entire surrounding region and counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey) with Services Including Sales, Rug Cleaning, Appraisals, Rug Repair and Museum-Quality Rug Restoration

Brandon Oriental Rugs - #BucksCounty PA - recommends cleaning and repairing your quality #wool-pile #arearugs to preserve like-new appearance and extend useful life. 

Give them some love. 

[We were invited to repair this Karastan carpet belonging to a customer but purchased elsewhere.* 

We removed the old damaged fringe, and all torn areas from ends of the woven face of the rug; bound the new clean-line at the ends; and replaced the old fringe with new that matched the original. 

This #rug-repair and #restoration work was much less costly than buying a new Karastan rug. The rug turned out looking as good as new.]

* - Brandon Oriental Rugs ONLY offers for sale REAL hand-knotted oriental rugs; and traditional, authentic kilims, dhurries, tapestries, and similar flatwoven rugs and textiles. We DO NOT offer for sale, promote or recommend machine-made rugs; tufted (so-called handmade) rugs; or rugs composed mostly of synthetic materials.

Brandon Oriental Rugs - BrandonRugs.com - serves the Appetite for REAL Oriental Rugs in #BucksCounty PA (and the entire surrounding region and counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey) with Professional Services That Include Sales, Rug Cleaning, Rug Appraisals, Rug Repair and Museum-Quality Rug Restoration

Brandon Oriental Rugs - #BucksCounty PA - recommends cleaning and repairing your fine quality handmade rugs to preserve like-new appearance and extend useful life. Give them some love; they're always worth at least what you paid for them.
This rug - a 10x10 square Persian Kerman - was inherited by our #WarminsterPA customer in moth-eaten condition. A significant area of the outer guard stripes of the border complex had been eaten away to a degree that made reweaving/re-knotting of the rug more costly than the rug's present market value justified.
To economically repair the rug and permit continuing use of it, we recommended cleaning and moth-proofing of the rug folowed by the removal and repair of damaged areas to restore appearance. 

As seen in "before and after" images above and below, we cut away the damaged areas (rather than re-knotting them); and machine-serged the edges all around (rather than hand-binding the edges and overcasting the ends.) After the rug was serged around its entire perimeter, we replaced the fringe at the ends as shown below. 
The choice of repairs selected offered considerable savings to our customer compared with what would ordinarily be sought and recommended to achieve a museum quality repair.
The rug is a little smaller than it once was, but looks remarkably good after the insult it suffered from the moths. It now is ready to be placed in a lovely new room awaiting its arrival in Florida where it promises to provide our customer many years of extended use.
