Oriental Rug Repair and Restoration in Indio, CA

We recently completed a rug repair and restoration project in Indio, CA for a homeowner whose handwoven wool rug showed multiple areas of wear, unraveling, and structural weakness. Restoration was needed to prevent further damage and preserve the rug’s longevity and value.

During the inspection, we identified several issues common in aging or heavily used rugs:

• Loose and unraveling side cords
• Missing or damaged fringe
• Foundation exposure along the edges
• Small holes and worn areas
• Minor color-loss spots
• Curling corners and uneven edges

These findings allowed us to create a full restoration plan tailored to the rug’s construction and fiber type.

Full Restoration and Structural Reinforcement

Our repair team performed:

• Fringe repair and replacement
• Side-cord (selvage) rebuilding and securing
• Hand reweaving in worn or torn areas
• Edge binding and stabilization
• Hole patching and foundation reinforcement
• Blocking and reshaping to correct curling and distortion
• Color touch-up where fading was present

Every repair was completed by hand to ensure a natural match to the rug’s original weave, tension, and appearance.

Results

After restoration, the rug had fully secured edges, refreshed fringe, stabilized wear zones, and improved structural strength. The homeowner was thrilled to see the rug brought back to a durable, display-ready condition.
