He can identify a rug’s origin not just by country, but also by city, and the specific workshop where the rug was made.

Our Services

Handmade carpets, rugs, and textiles, whether antique or modern, from wherever in the world they originated, are works of art. Each piece is unique, a testimony to time and place, a colorful composition achieved by the interplay of dyes, design, and materials through creative craftsmanship. The care of carpets, rugs and textiles -- whether cleaning, restoring, or conserving them -- requires not just specialized knowledge, but also proper handling and applied skills, in order to insure the preservation of their color, quality, character, and value.
