Persian Rug Repair in Scottsdale, AZ

Expert hand-repair for Persian rugs of all types — Tabriz, Isfahan, Heriz, Kashan, Nain, and all Persian weaves. Traditional techniques that preserve your rug's beauty, structure, and investment value.

Why Persian Rug Repair Requires Specialized Expertise

A Persian rug isn't just a floor covering — it's a work of art that can be worth thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, with craftsmanship that may span centuries. Repairing one requires a level of expertise that goes far beyond general textile repair. The artisan must understand Persian knot construction (asymmetric vs. symmetric knots), be able to match wool or silk yarn weight and twist precisely, replicate the specific dye colors of the original, and reweave the damaged section so seamlessly that the repair is virtually invisible from the front of the rug.

At Baluchi Rug Gallery, we don't just repair Persian rugs — we sell, import, and collect them. Our family has over 30 years of hands-on experience with every type of Persian rug construction. When a damaged Tabriz, Isfahan, or Heriz arrives at our workshop, we know exactly how it was made, what materials were used, and how to restore it using the same traditional techniques the original weaver employed.

Persian Rug Repair Services We Offer

Reweaving & Re-Knotting

For holes, tears, and worn-through areas, we rebuild the damaged section from the foundation up — replacing warp threads, re-knotting the pile to match the original pattern and knot density, and blending the repair seamlessly with the surrounding area. On finely knotted Persian rugs (300-500+ KPSI), this is meticulous, time-intensive work — but it's the only way to restore structural integrity without compromising value.

Fringe Repair & Replacement

Persian rug fringe is an extension of the structural warp threads. When fringe wears away, gets chewed by a vacuum, or is damaged by pets, the rug's foundation begins to unravel. We stabilize, repair, or replace fringe using techniques appropriate to the rug's construction — hand-knotting new fringe, securing existing fringe, or applying a clean overcast finish.

Selvage & Edge Re-Binding

The selvage (side edge wrapping) protects the rug's weft threads from unraveling. Over decades of use, selvage loosens, frays, or detaches. We re-bind edges using wool or cotton thread that matches the original, preventing further structural damage that would be far more expensive to repair later.

Moth Damage Restoration

Arizona's warm climate makes moth damage a genuine concern — especially for Persian rugs in closets, under furniture, or in low-traffic rooms. Moths eat the wool pile down to the cotton foundation, leaving bare patches. We reweave new pile into the exposed foundation, matching colors and knot density as closely as possible.

Color Touch-Up & Restoration

Sun fading (common in Arizona), chemical spills, or improper cleaning can leave discolored areas on an otherwise beautiful Persian rug. We carefully restore color using fiber-safe dyes applied with traditional techniques — restoring vibrancy without compromising the rug's character or aging patina.

Types of Persian Rugs We Repair

We repair all Persian rug types and constructions, including Tabriz (extremely fine knot density — repairs require exceptional precision), Isfahan (often wool on silk foundation — both fiber types must be addressed), Heriz and Serapi (thicker, more durable construction — repairs tend to be more straightforward), Kashan (tight knotting with rich dyes — color matching is critical), Nain (delicate with silk highlights — silk and wool components require different repair techniques), Qum silk (pure silk — the most delicate repair work), and all village and tribal Persian pieces including Gabbeh, Qashqai, Bakhtiari, and Baluchi.

We Also Clean Persian Rugs

Repair and cleaning often go hand-in-hand. We frequently identify damage during our Persian rug cleaning process that the owner hadn't noticed — early moth activity, a loosening edge, or fringe starting to unravel. Addressing these issues during a cleaning visit is the most efficient and cost-effective approach.
