A Collaboration Of Turkish, Tibetan, And Persian Master Weavers Specialized In Area Rug Cleaning And Repair.

The Artisans of the Loom is your first-hand access to area rug cleaning and repairs in New York. We've been providing our services to auction houses and museums for many years and charging the public the same rates. In fact, the companies with the best ratings by consumer reports for antique oriental rug cleaning and restoration have been handing the job over to The Artisans of the Loom and charging their customers for a hefty profit.

At the Artisans of the Loom, we treat every handmade area rug individually by examining its style (knotted carpet, kilim, French Savonnerie, Aubusson, Tapestry), origin (Turkish, Persian, Chinese, Indian, Caucasian, Moroccan, etc), material (wool, silk, cotton, etc.), dyes (natural vegetable, artificial chemical), age (new, antique) and condition. Cleaning is done by hand as should be to avoid the risk of wear and color runs. A handmade rug is meant to last for centuries and we'll try and make sure it does.

Free appraisals and tips for cleaning, stain treatment... All your questions will be answered by our artisan. We approach the art of weaving with appreciation and respect to weavers all around the world.

Specialized in the repair of new and antique oriental area rugs, we have been serving Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn for more than twenty years.

As a collaboration of Turkish, Tibetan, Moroccan, and Persian weavers, we work on all kinds of hand made area rugs. Specialization is necessary for restoring a valuable hand made rug. An antique Persian rug is best repaired by a Persian weaver, a Berber rugby a Moroccan.

The most common types of area rug repair:

• Reweaving missing parts
• Restoring worn areas
• Reviving color
• Securing fraying ends
• Binding edges
• Adding fringes
• Stitching cuts and tears
• Stretching a crooked rug
