Rug Restoration & Professional Cleaning

Expert Rug Restoration & Cleaning

At Hakiemie Rug Gallery, we offer professional rug restoration and specialist cleaning for antique, vintage, and handmade rugs. With decades of experience working with Persian, Oriental, and tribal rugs, every piece is treated with the highest level of care, craftsmanship, and respect for its history.

Whether your rug requires delicate repair, structural restoration, or professional cleaning, each piece is handled individually using traditional techniques and appropriate materials.

Antique & Handmade Rug Restoration

Antique and handmade rugs are fragile works of art. Improper repairs can permanently damage their structure, value, and appearance. Our restoration process focuses on preserving originality while extending the life of the rug.

Each rug is carefully inspected, documented, and photographed before any work begins, ensuring transparency and accurate advice.

Our restoration services include:

  • Full restoration of damaged or worn rugs

  • Precise colour and wool matching, essential for antique rugs

  • Re-weaving and re-piling worn areas, often due to moth damage

  • Repairing curled edges and corners

  • Securing loose ends and sides

  • Replacement of damaged or missing fringes

  • Strengthening weakened foundations and borders

Where possible, we use old or age-compatible materials to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the rug.

Professional Rug Cleaning

Regular professional cleaning is essential for maintaining the beauty and longevity of handmade rugs. Dust, grit, and embedded dirt gradually damage wool fibres and dyes if left untreated.

Our cleaning process is gentle, controlled, and tailored to each rug, taking into account its age, dyes, weave, and condition.

Professional rug cleaning helps to:

  • Protect natural wool fibres

  • Preserve colours and prevent dye bleeding

  • Remove deeply embedded dirt and allergens

  • Extend the life of antique and handmade rugs

We do not use aggressive chemical treatments or machine processes that can harm delicate rugs.
