Antique rug preservation is an artform of its own. Any alteration to the rug could diminish the value. Preserving the original structure and ensuring the longevity of the rug is of utmost importance.
The most common reasons for antique rug needing preservation are:
Rug Ends: The extended fringe ends, where the knots are tied. Vacuuming over fringe is a common mistake and leads to deterioration of the fringe.
Rug Edges: The edge of the rug wears away the quickest. These edges should be repaired by hand, not machine.
Holes in the rug: Punctures, tears, and breaks result in larger holes if not attended to.
Field Wear occurs from constant abrasion or usage, like walking in the same spot of the rug over and over. Rotating the rug periodically can help prevent this.
Spills: If spills are immediately treated, stains can be avoided. Using a moist, clean cloth and blotting is the best way to clean a spill.
It’s best to interfere as little as possible with the natural lanolin of Persian rugs by avoiding dry cleaning, steam cleaning, moth-proofing. Instead, have your rug cleaned by a professional rug cleaner every 2-3 years. For lower pile rugs, daily or weekly cleaning with a non-suction vacuum cleaner is sufficient.
