Cleaning of Antique Russian Rug

Main Street Oriental Rugs recently repaired an Antique Russian Rug.  This rug is from the late 1800s, and it came to us with several holes that needed to be patched.  The repairs took about a month, and it was done by a master weaver who has been in this business for over 50 years.  The repairs have been finished, and here are the before and after pictures:
