PROFESSIONAL RUG RESTORATION

SPECIALIST IN ORIENTAL, OCCIDENTAL RUGS, TAPESTRIES & TEXTILES

We pride ourselves in the quality of our work and only employ highly skilled and experienced craftspeople. Our Oriental Rug restoration team inspect each rug, irrespective of size and value is handled with the same level of skill and professionalism using only the best quality cleaning products and materials.

A photographic record is made of the rug on arrival into our workshop, highlighting areas that require particular attention eg: colour restoration, moth damage, edges, stoppers etc. giving us and our client a record of the rug prior to commencement of work. Once the rug is ready to be returned we photograph it again so that we hold a ‘before and after’ record of every rug that has gone through our workshop. Our dedicated oriental rug restoration workshop can restore all types of rugs and European tapestries, antique and contemporary rugs and carpets.

Oriental rug restoration: Timing 

How long will it take?

This will depend entirely on the size of the rug and the extent of the repair work to be done and we will indicate a timescale at the outset. Some more complicated repairs take longer as we have to match the designs with the correct colour and age of wools. We take pride in doing the work correctly and making sure our customers are delighted with the results.
