Once, you traveled to Bali and bought a rug. Five years on, the kids and pets have had their way with it, and the colors have lost their pop. Take it to Parviz Yathrebi, the carpeting genius at Woven Treasures, a shop that sells exotic rugs but also does the less glamorous work of maintaining them. Parviz will admire the craftsmanship of your hand-woven masterpiece or restore your machine-woven facsimile, sans any rug-related snobbery.
