Rug Cleaning
Our expert hand-washing preserves rug longevity using natural soaps and traditional methods. Each piece undergoes thorough inspection for hidden damage, followed by temperature-controlled drying to maintain fiber integrity. This meticulous process protects investments while enhancing aesthetic appeal through chemical-free restoration.
Restoration
Specialized craftsmen revive damaged rugs to original condition through fringe replacement, edge binding, and knot-by-knot reweaving. We match materials and patterns precisely to maintain historical accuracy while reinforcing structural integrity, ensuring heirloom preservation for future generations.
Bespoke Production
Clients collaborate with designers to create unique rugs tailored to personal style preferences. From initial concept to final delivery, we guide choices in materials, colors, and textures while providing strike-off samples for approval before full-scale handweaving begins.
