Restoring your rug's fringe is an art form that has been passed down through centuries of migrations and invasions. Traditionally, fringe repair is done by artisans in hand-built back workshops tucked away in the city centers of Istanbul, Ankara, and Sanliurfa. Now, rug restoration isn't only limited to the grand tradition of Turkish rug restoration. Now, there is a major push for modern rug restoration that focuses on a large-scale mechanical approach.
