Repair and Restoration
Every rug is a unique piece of art. Cyrus Artisan Area Rugs employs expert conservators and highly qualified weavers with in-depth knowledge of colors, textures, and composition to handle your rug. Our team located in Minneapolis Minnesota is qualified to handle fine antique carpets as well as hand-knotted rugs, kilims and tapestries.
One goal of Cyrus is to restore a carpet to sound condition while preserving the intrinsic character of a fine work of art. Over time, a rug needs special care to preserve its beauty for generations. Colors mellow, and cleaning and repairs may be needed. Insensitive restoration can adversely affect the value of an important piece, so we specialize in preserving the value of your investment.
Conservation and restoration are processes that demand a high degree of skill. Our skilled, professional weavers will perform the techniques necessary to restore your rug to its original condition. We repair holes or tears in the edges and body, replace pile where it has worn away, as well as other forms of restoration. This may include backing, re-weaving and supporting areas of worn pile. Our attention to detail and complicated conservation techniques to restore a large piece can take several months. Cyrus's patience and meticulous methods reflect the exacting standards of our conservators.
