It takes the right tools...

Part two of my epic restoration project.  Mair Oriental Rug Services
http://www.orientalrugservices.com/about_us.htm is working on the piece for my customer.

Here is a preview of some of their tools...


 Having the right color is really important...


But so is having the correct fiber...



And it has to be from the right time period...


In this line of work you can never have enough...


Hand dyed wool...


Hand dyed silk from Tabriz...

Up next, some photos of how the work is actually done.  Stay tuned...
