Rug Repair
Our rug repair service addresses edge conservation, overcasting, re-weaving, and dye work for Oriental rugs and kilims. Using traditional techniques like Belgian stitching and dabble knotting, we restore damaged rugs to their original condition. Clients receive cost-effective solutions tailored to preserve the value and beauty of heirloom and antique pieces.
Rug Cleaning
Professional rug cleaning involves dry dusting, full immersion soaking, and triple rinsing with a 20-ton rug press. We customize cleaning solutions based on rug dye types to prevent damage. This process removes deep-seated dirt and odors while maintaining pile integrity, ensuring safe cleaning for delicate antiques and heavy wool rugs.
Rug Appraisals
Our certified appraisals document rug replacement values for insurance purposes. The $100 service includes a detailed certificate accepted by insurers, crucial after disasters like wildfires. We assess rug origin, materials, and condition to determine accurate valuations, helping clients secure full compensation under insurance policies.
Rug Sales
We offer handmade, vegetable-dyed rugs and kilims from a curated collection. Our sales process includes in-home consultations to match rugs with clients' decor, lighting, and space requirements. The Oriental Rug Club provides access to collectible antique rugs, allowing customers to experience and learn about historical weaving traditions before purchasing.
Storage & Shipping
Comprehensive storage and shipping services protect rugs during transit and long-term storage. We use climate-controlled facilities and specialized packing materials to prevent damage. This service includes pickup and delivery within San Diego County, ensuring safe handling of fragile or valuable pieces from client locations to our facility.
