Services

With decades of experience, we offer a range of expert services to sympathetically restore and maintain pieces. We use traditional methods and carefully tailor work to preserve and enhance precious antique carpets and rugs.

  • Professional cleaning for antique carpets and rugs. Each piece is assessed individually to determine the safest and most effective method. Traditional hand-cleaning techniques are used to remove accumulated dust, dirt and residues while protecting delicate fibres and dyes. Careful washing restores colour clarity and freshness while maintaining the integrity of the weave and structure.

  • Specialist conservation and structural repair for antique and valuable carpets. Work may include reweaving worn areas, repairing damaged edges, securing loose ends and stabilising weakened foundations. Traditional methods and materials are used wherever possible so that repairs remain sympathetic to the original construction and appearance of the carpet.

  • Protective backing and underlay is designed to support and extend the life of carpets and rugs. Appropriate materials are selected depending on the age, structure and intended use of the piece. Proper backing and underlay help prevent movement, reduce wear, and protect delicate foundations from long-term damage.

  • Independent valuation of antique carpets and rugs based on construction, origin, condition and market demand. Assessments are suitable for private collections, insurance purposes, sales, and estate management. Detailed knowledge of historical traditions and the international carpet market allows for informed and accurate valuations.
