QASHQAI RUG, WATER DAMAGE / HOLE RESTORATION

THis nice quality qashqai rug had a hole on it due to water damage caused by  a pot which was placed on the rug without a container under for the excess water. As prolonged exposure to water rots all the fibers, foundation threads break, crumble away and finally pile start coming off resulting in a hole. We have restored the rug to its full glory, client is was very happy with the result as she could not even locate where the damage was. www.rugart.biz
