Tulsa's antique Persian collections — particularly the Tabriz, Heriz, and Kashan pieces from the 1910s through 1930s buying trips — routinely need careful repair after a century of use. Antique Persian repair is among the most demanding work we perform. Original wool has aged in specific ways, dyes have shifted, and foundations are often weakened. The repair must match the original aged appearance, not the rug's original-as-woven appearance. We document this work thoroughly with before-and-after photography.
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 Tulsa.
Where in Tulsa do you offer Persian rug repair pick-up?
Free pick-up throughout Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Bartlesville, and surrounding Northeast Oklahoma communities.
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.
Do antique Tulsa Persians often have un-disclosed prior repairs?
Frequently. Many antique Persian collections passed through hands of dealers and previous owners who performed undocumented repair work. We identify pre-existing repairs during inspection and adjust our methodology accordingly.
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.
