Specialist rug and carpet care services

Restoration Atelier

We provide expert, professional cleaning, repair, and restoration for fine rugs and carpets; from treasured family heirlooms to high‑quality contemporary pieces.

Our work is always guided by respect for the craftsmanship, materials, and history of each rug.

We use a gentle, hand‑guided cleaning process tailored to the rug’s age, fibres, and dyes.

This deep cleaning removes dust, grit, and soiling that regular vacuuming cannot reach, helping protect the pile and preserve colours.

Appropriate cleaning agents and water temperatures are chosen for each piece, to ensure both cleanliness and safety.

fine Rug repair & Restoration

Our fine rug repair and restoration work focuses on stabilising the rug and improving its appearance while keeping its originality intact.

This conservation allows us to begin shaping a collection curated exclusively for you.

Depending on the rug’s needs, this may include:

  • Fringe repair or replacement – to secure the foundation and prevent unraveling.

  • Edge binding and side reinforcement – protecting against fraying and structural wear.

  • Re-knotting or pile restoration – worn areas are rebuilt and matched sympathetically to the original.

  • Careful colour matching – restoring vibrancy to faded sections while respecting age and patina.

Protective Care

To help extend the life of your rug, we offer guidance on preventative treatments and ongoing maintenance.

These measures help guard against common causes of wear and tear, ensuring your rug remains in the best possible condition for years to come.

the process

Every rug is assessed individually before any work begins. We take time to understand its construction, condition, and history.

We will discuss the most suitable options with you and recommend a course of action that balances expert care with respect for the rug’s original character.

We never use one-size-fits-all methods; each rug receives the attention it deserves.
