Antique Turkish Rug Restoration - Result

 

The restoration of this gorgeous antique Turkish Yahyali rug is complete.  The reknotting was done and the shearing of the newly knotted pile was finished (below is a photo before we cut down the new knotting).  The rug is ready for more decades of enjoyment and use.  This was a wonderful rug restoration project to work on.  Yahyali rugs are stunning, and they hold a special place in my heart as they originate from an area close to my hometown in Turkey.  --www.traditionalrugrepair.com
