Old Antique kilim Restoration
Our restoration of an Old Antique Vegetable Dye Kilim, witnessing the remarkable transformation from faded grandeur to restored brilliance. In its initial state, the kilim exhibited muted hues and worn sections, its once-bold patterns softened by the passage of time.

The kilim’s intricate narratives, obscured by wear and tear, were rewoven with precision, seamlessly integrating missing threads and preserving the authenticity of its stories. A thorough cleaning unveiled the hidden radiance of the vegetable-dyed fibers, transforming the rug from a dulled relic to a radiant testament to the timeless elegance of traditional craftsmanship. This before-and-after narrative encapsulates the revival of a cultural artifact, marrying the charm of yesteryears with the promise of enduring beauty.

Old Anatolian Oushak rug
Old Anatolian rugs with the Oushak design are beautiful rugs that come in colourful blends. This particular piece was shipped to us from New York and with its old age was in a tremendously bad state with pieces missing and coming off. It took a long period of time for us to complete this project not only because of the work effort, but due to the time it takes to find the old wool in these special dyes and colours.
You can see the completed images below and the extent of damage before hand but it was definitely worth the time.
17th century French Aubusson tapestry Pillow restoration
This is a 17th century French Aubusson tapestry Pillow woven with silk thread. A group of six of these pillows were brought to us and had a lot of threadbare and torn out pieces that took tremendous effort to repair and bring back to life.
These pieces were so fine that our weavers had to take breaks in between the work, as they wouldn’t be able to see the knots after half an hour of work due to the extremely fine needle work.
Old Rug
This rug had witnessed lots of damage due to threadbare. Threadbare typically refers to the process of losing rug pile as a result of increased wear or moth damage. However, no task is too small for our rug repair team. We were able to weave the missing pile back into the rug, whilst maintaining the encompassing pattern and design of the rug throughout.
Large Tabriz Rug
This Particular Project was sent to us from America to be repaired. The segment in the image had become rotten and had also been repaired with little attention. At rugmaster, about 10 percent of our work is just correcting previous repairs that were not done accuratley. Dry rot in rugs lead to the deterioration of the foundation fibers, leading to a total lack of structural integrity and to a rug this means it can simply fall apart; hence we had to remove the rotten part of the rug completley and reweave the rug back to its original state. The end result came out better than expected.
Afghan Khan
This is an old afghan khan rug. This rug was subject to immense wear. The reason this rug’s fringes were damaged to such an extent is very simple, the fringes were not properly secured. Fringes play a vital role in the upkeep of rugs, they act as a border to prevent damage. Due to the absence of secured fringes in this rug, the customer inevitably had to bring the rug in for restoration as the very rug itself had started detiriorating. With all rugs, if they are not secured at the fringes and sidecord, one can expect an increase in deterioration over time.
Modern Rug
A customer was faced with a problem which required a small incision to be made in their modern office rug. Not only did our team of master weavers achieve this, but they also designed a secured flap within the rug allowing the desired access to the power outlet port.
