DEERFIELD AREA RUG FRINGE REPAIR
Fringe—it’s a controversial subject in the high-end rug world. Some people believe it adds the perfect finishing touch needed to frame the exquisite design of their Persian, Chinese, Indian or Tribal rugs. For others, it’s an unnecessary additional hassle that is difficult to keep neat and clean. Whichever end of the spectrum you’re on, there are probably some things you don’t know about the white, frilly edges of your rug. If your rug was handwoven by an artist in another part of the world, this fringe is likely a result of the fabric leftover during the weaving process. These pieces are strung throughout the entire rug, holding the fabrics running the opposing direction tightly together.
Area Rug Fringe Repair In Deerfield, ILDepending on the origin of your rug and what weaving technique the artist used, the frills are then knotted or braided, sometimes in a very intricate way, to hold the entirety of the woven masterpiece into place. Without it, the rug would simply fall apart. Now that you know that the fringe is actually the foundation of your rug, you understand why the need to care for and protect it is so important. Don’t let damaged, missing or broken frills, or loose braids, twists and knots, lead to a slow and sure unraveling of your precious antique or modern area rug. It would be a great loss that is often very difficult, if not almost impossible, to repair.
