Rug Restoration
16th Century European Tapestry
Over the years, the team at Costikyan has had the opportunity to restore and care for extraordinary pieces...
Every rug has its own construction, history, and character. From reweaving and fringe repair to structural restoration and color correction, our specialists use generations of craftsmanship to restore what can be preserved and strengthen what must endure.
At Costikyan, restoration is only part of the process. We combine expert repair, professional cleaning, protective treatments, and careful delivery to help preserve fine rugs for generations.
Expert fringe repair, edge stabilization, reweaving, color restoration, moth damage repair, binding replacement, and structural restoration for antique and contemporary rugs.
Extend the life of your rugs with FiberShield® protection, premium rug padding, flameproofing, and preventative maintenance designed to reduce wear and staining.
Hand washing, in-plant cleaning, wall-to-wall carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, drapery cleaning, stain removal, odor removal, and on-site textile care.
From site measurement to final installation, we provide custom templating, on-site fabrication, rug binding, wall-to-wall carpet installation, and custom stair runner solutions for a flawless fit.
Detailed inspection of fiber, dyes, structure, and damage. We examine your rug in our facility to identify worn areas, weakened edges, fringe damage, color loss, and previous repairs—this evaluation informs a custom restoration plan.
Reweaving, structural repair, and color correction. Our craftspeople use traditional techniques to stabilize edges, reconstruct fringe, reweave thinning pile, and restore faded areas. Every stage respects the rug’s original integrity and value
Final inspection, protective treatments, and secure delivery. Once restoration is complete, we inspect the finished work, apply protective treatments if requested, and return your rug with care, handling reinstallation as needed.
From pickup through final delivery, every rug is carefully handled, securely transported, and returned once restoration is complete.
When needed, our team carefully moves furnishings to access your rug, then returns and repositions them after service.
Your rug remains protected while in our care, backed by comprehensive insurance and rigorous handling protocols.
Our specialists combine time-honored techniques with modern restoration methods to preserve fine, antique, and irreplaceable rugs.

We specialize in structural repair for antique, Persian, Oriental, and silk rugs, including reweaving, fringe reconstruction, edge stabilization, and color correction. Whether your rug needs minor binding repair or comprehensive restoration, our specialists use both time-honored and modern techniques suited to each rug’s age, fiber, and construction.
We provide secure pickup and delivery for rug restorations throughout NYC and the I-95 Northeast Corridor (NJ, CT, VA, MA, PA, RI). All restoration work is performed at our facility
using standard techniques and climate-controlled handling. We coordinate transport, keep you updated throughout the process, and safely return your rug once complete.
Restoration costs depend on the rug’s size, materials, and the extent of damage. We provide a detailed assessment and custom proposal before any work begins, so you understand exactly what’s needed and why. Contact us to schedule a consultation and get an estimate.
Timelines vary based on the complexity of repairs—minor edge or fringe work may take a couple of weeks, while extensive reweaving or antique rug restoration can take several months. We provide a timeline estimate during your initial assessment and keep you informed as work progresses.
