Sample Repair: Chichi

Before

This Chichi rug (c. 1830s) is a great rug, but it came to us worn and threadbare, which lowered its value from about $9,000-10,000 to approximately $2,000-2,500.

You can see the extensive wear damage in the following two photos.

The final result is stunning. The rug is restored to its original beauty, charm, durability, and value. Beautiful!
