Wow, that is a great transformation. So wonderful that you have the family history and expertise to be able to save this beautiful rug. I would have been terrified to make that first cut. I guess you would have to have your expertise to have the confidence to do this – as well as your creative artistic talent!

This post just blows me away. How very thrifty and what a wonderful, creative solution for preserving a family heirloom. I would have never dreamed this could be done.
Thanks for sharing with us!

Jane T is such an amazing artist who sees things in rugs that aren’t apparent to most people. She is deeply knowledgeable about how much can be done with fine rugs and what the old-school “rights and wrongs” of restoration can and should be. Her advise and opinions are always rock solid.

Wow, I didn’t know this was possible! What a wonderful tradition your grandfather has started, and you continue. And in the very same spot. You’ve taught me something I didn’t know.

Wonderful idea! It is always a shame to see rugs with issues being discarded.
