For over 300 years the Noor Family has been
in the fine Oriental rug business and are proud
to carry on this esteemed profession. Noor
Oriental Rugs, Inc have a reverence for the
traditional processes that go into the creation
and maintenance of fine rugs. Mohammad Nooraee,
founder of Noor Oriental Rugs, Inc. is delighted
in sharing his passion for hand-knotted rugs and
the culture from which he originated. Noor is
proud to use centuries-old Persian
practices to preserve and restore your woven
treasure. Lastly, Noor takes the same care with
all your handwoven treasures, such as Aubussons,
Savonneries, tapestries, needlepoints, and
hooked rugs. We invite you to visit our
restoration page, currently featuring the Serapi
Project: A living History.
Quality standards of
Noor’s restoration process:
-
Only wool from
the same region that the rug is woven is
used.
-
The wool is
hand spun as the original rug’s wool is also
hand spun.
-
The wool is
dyed in organic solutions since the original
wool that the rug is made out of is
organically dyed.
-
For every
color, different shades of the same dye are
spun together to furnish a patina of age
that blends with the rest of the rug,
otherwise the repaired area would be visible
and thus the value would depreciate.
-
Turkish knots
are used for pile implementation since the
rug is woven with that style of knotting
-
The
thinness/thickness of the thread/yarn
(numbers of plies) are identical
to the thickness/thinness of the original
rug. Otherwise the piles either stand
higher, or lower, and will not be even.
-
We have
preserved any flaw/mis-weaving/incomplete
motifs, etc., woven originally by the weaver
into the rug. We do not do any cosmetic work
on the rug to change the integrity of the
rug.
-
We do not do
anything to make the rug look younger. Age
is of high value in old rugs.
-
We use the
same tools that the Persians have been using
since the Bronze Age.
