Memphis Persian rug collections — particularly the Tabriz, Kashan, and Heriz pieces in older estate homes — often need repair after decades of use. Persian rugs typically have higher knot densities (300–800 KPSI is common in city pieces), which means repair has to be performed at exactly the same density with matched wool gauge. Generic oriental repair methods are too coarse for fine Persians. The skill required to repair a Persian invisibly is the same skill required to weave one in the first place.
Persian rugs typically have higher knot densities (300–800 KPSI is common in city pieces), use the Persian asymmetric knot specifically, and frequently include silk highlights. Repair work has to match the exact knot type, the same gauge of wool, and matched dyes. Generic oriental repair methods are too coarse for fine Persians; a Persian repair has to be performed at the same level of detail as the original weaving. Anything less is immediately visible.

Repair matched to regional Persian construction.
Each Persian region has distinct construction. Our repair work matches the original exactly.
Tabriz
Highest knot densities. Frequently silk highlights. Repair requires matching very fine wool gauge.
Kashan, Isfahan, Nain, Qom
Central Iranian city rugs — fine wool on cotton foundation, often silk highlights. The most demanding Persian repair we perform.
Heriz, Bijar
Northwestern village rugs with bold geometric patterns. Heriz is known for rust-red madder dyes; matching the aged dye is critical.
Mashhad, Kerman
Eastern and southeastern city rugs with curvilinear floral designs. Repair must continue design lines accurately.
Hamadan, Senneh
Western village and town rugs, traditionally single-wefted. Foundation repair matches the original single-weft structure.
Tribal — Qashqai, Bakhtiari
Nomadic weaves with handspun wool foundations. Repair uses similarly handspun materials.

Common questions about Persian rug repair in Memphis.
Where in Memphis do you offer Persian rug repair pick-up?
Free pick-up across Memphis, Germantown, Cordova, Collierville, Bartlett, Olive Branch, Southaven, and the wider Mid-South.
How is Persian rug repair different from other oriental repair?
Higher knot densities, more sensitive natural dyes, and frequent silk highlights. Repair has to be performed at exactly the same density with matched wool gauge — the skill required matches the original weaving.
Can you match old Persian colors that have aged?
Yes — color matching for aged Persian colors is one of the most demanding parts of Persian repair. We hand-dye matched wool to the rug's existing aged color, not its original color, so repair work integrates invisibly. Multiple test samples for difficult matches.
Should I repair my old Persian rug or replace it?
For any genuine Persian rug, repair almost always makes more sense than replacement. Authentic hand-knotted Persians of the quality found in American homes are essentially impossible to replace at any reasonable cost.
Can you match Persian dye colors?
Yes. We hand-dye wool to match original colors when sourced material isn't available. Persian rugs frequently use natural vegetal dyes that have aged in specific ways over decades. We match these aged colors directly.
Available across five metros.
