According to the author, a technique of faithful reconstruction of warp, wefts and knots, widely employed in the conservation of carpets, is not devoid of flaws such as distending and damaging of wefts and knots caused by a deep piercing of a needle, not always recommended use of cloth for doubling et.c. The Atelier of Textile Conservation in the Royal Castle has worked out a method of protective conservation with partial reconstruction with the use of chiffon, natural silk or bolting cloth as a doubling fabric. After preliminary routine treatment, carpets are protected with a shallowly introduced warp and a technique of the laid thread instead of wefts; knots are reconstructed by tieing them through a doubling fabric. This technique interferes with the historic substance to a small degree only; it reinforces the object and thanks to the doubling fabric, reconstructed places are more clearly marked on the reverse, which protects them against mistakes in case of studies of the object made by art historians.
