Rug Restoration Concept

Repairing our rugs does affect the value of a rug. In some cases, an Oriental rug restoration will increase the value. Sometimes, the repair may decrease the carpets’ value – especially if the repair was done poorly. For the most part, it is not worth repairing new modern rugs because they don’t have any intrinsic value. That being said, if we like the carpet, have some sentimental attachment to it, and can afford to do it, then certainly go ahead and repair it.

 

When it comes to antique rugs, the question of repair is more of a grey area. Value depends on much more than age alone when it comes to Persian rugs and Abraham Oriental rugs. Color, pattern, construction technique, material, age, and the place where it was created all come into play when determining a carpet’s value.

 

Rugs are will probably be worth investing the money to repair:

 

ü  Earlier carpets representing a certain period are more likely to appreciate over time because of their historical significance and rarity.

ü  Specific carpet patterns will also be more likely to appreciate over time.

ü  Fine rugs made by master weavers will always bring a good price in the right condition.

ü  Carpets from certain places will also be more likely to hold their value if they are better examples from these areas.

ü  Tribal carpets are also popular and tend to hold their value, but since they are not expensive rugs, we need to weigh the cost of repair vs. how much the rug costs.
