Rug Cleaning
Our specialist rug cleaning employs traditional hand-washing techniques with natural shampoos, followed by centrifuge water removal and air drying. This meticulous process preserves fibres while eliminating deep-seated dirt. Each rug receives individual attention from our verified technicians, ensuring safe handling of delicate materials. The service includes free collection and delivery within two weeks, with a final pile-brushing to restore softness and appearance.
Rug Restoration
We restore antique and damaged rugs using time-honoured methods passed down through three generations. Services include fringe renewal, moth damage repair, and foundation rebuilding for Oriental, Persian, and tribal pieces. Our Tehran workshop handles ultra-fine restorations, while UK teams address common wear areas like selvedges. Each project begins with a complimentary consultation to assess repair needs and provide transparent cost estimates.
Bespoke Rug Sales
Our curated collection features hand-knotted Persian, Afghan, and Indian rugs in various sizes and patterns. Clients can arrange in-home viewings to test rugs in their space before purchase. The showroom offers guidance on size selection, with newspaper layout templates to visualise dimensions. Every piece undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure authenticity and craftsmanship meet our exacting standards.
