Handmade Rugs
We offer authentic hand-knotted rugs crafted from natural fibers like wool and silk. Each piece undergoes rigorous quality checks for knot density, vegetable dyes, and fringe authenticity. Our collection spans Persian, Turkish, and tribal styles, with options for both contemporary and traditional interiors. These durable rugs appreciate in value over centuries when properly maintained.
Rug Cleaning
Professional hand-washing preserves handmade rug integrity using eco-friendly methods. Separate cleaning prevents color transfer while maintaining original dyes and textures. Our process revitalizes fibers without harsh chemicals, ensuring longevity for valuable antique and modern pieces.
Interior Design
Expert placement services optimize rug integration with existing decor. We analyze room dimensions, furniture arrangement, and lighting to showcase rugs effectively. Collaborations with top designers ensure cohesive aesthetic solutions for residential and commercial spaces.
Rug Appraisals
Certified evaluations determine market value for insurance or estate purposes. Analysis considers age, origin, knot count, and material quality. We provide detailed documentation with historical context and preservation recommendations for antique and collectible pieces.
Custom Sourcing
Global network locates specific rug types based on client preferences. We connect buyers with artisans creating bespoke pieces or rare antiques. Services include authentication, shipping coordination, and cultural background insights for informed purchasing decisions.
