Reviving History,
Knot by Knot
We don't just repair rugs; we honor their origins. Our master weavers use centuries-old techniques to seamlessly restore structure, color, and value to your most treasured textiles.
The Restoration Standard
While cleaning is a science, restoration is an art. It requires patience, historical knowledge, and the dexterity of a surgeon. We approach every damaged rug with a four-stage preservation protocol.
Assessment & Fiber Analysis
Before a single knot is tied, we analyze the rug’s foundation. We identify the specific wool or silk grade, the twist direction of the yarn, and the original knot density (KPSI). This ensures that any addition is structurally identical to the original creation.
Custom Dye Matching
Off-the-shelf colors never match antique rugs. We operate an in-house dye lab where we formulate custom small-batch dyes. We account for patina, oxidation, and fading, creating yarn that blends invisibly with the surrounding aged fibers.
The Master Re-Weave
This is the heart of our work. Using the exact knotting style of the rug's origin (Persian Senneh or Turkish Ghiordes), our artisans rebuild the foundation (warp and weft) and retie the pile by hand, knot by single knot, filling voids with precision.
Shearing & Blending
New wool is naturally higher and fluffier than worn antique pile. We use specialized curved blades to shear the new weave down to the exact millimeter of the surrounding area, followed by a light distressing process to ensure the texture feels uniform underfoot.
Complete Repair Menu
From structural damage to cosmetic flaws, we handle the full spectrum of rug pathology.
Fringe Repair
The first part of a rug to fail. We can secure loose ends, re-weave damaged fringe into the foundation, or add artificial fringe for aesthetic purposes.
Edge Binding (Serging)
Reinforcing the sides (selvedges) of the rug with hand-wrapped wool to prevent unravelling and maintain structural integrity.
Hole & Tear Reweaving
Rebuilding the warp and weft foundation in areas with holes, followed by re-knotting the pattern to invisibly close the damage.
Color Run Removal
Correcting "bleeding" dyes where unstable colors have migrated into light areas (like ivory wool) due to flood damage or improper cleaning.
Moth Damage
Moth larvae eat wool but leave the cotton foundation. We remove the larvae, treat the rug, and re-knot the bare patches they left behind.
Resizing & Alteration
Professional cutting and binding to reduce a rug's size to fit a new room, or converting a damaged large rug into smaller runners.

Save Your Heirloom
Restoration is time-sensitive. The sooner a damaged area is stabilized, the easier it is to repair. Contact us for an assessment.
