Oriental rug or a Persian carpet is undoubtedly a job to be performed by a professional mender. Fringes and selvedge bindings around a rug are most often the main areas that will need repair work before any other parts of a rug. After all, these are unprotected elements and exposed to regular wear and tear, as well as suction of vacuum cleaners by careless rug owners, and therefore subject to possibly premature damages. However, menders sometimes repair a selvedge or a fringe, and at other times, they may repair part of the warp or weft in order to fill a gap and re-tie the required knots with a hook or by bare hands - depending on what type of rug they are dealing with - to replace the missing pile.
