London rugs range from everyday handmade pieces to antique Persian and Oriental rugs, silk carpets and collectable textiles that require specialist care when damage occurs.

Frayed edges, damaged fringes, holes, tears, worn pile and weakened foundations can all worsen with continued use. Pars Rug Gallery provides specialist rug restoration in London, with detailed assessment and repair methods selected for the individual rug’s weave, fibres, dyes, age and condition.

Specialist Rug Repair and Restoration in London

Every restoration project begins with a photographic condition record and close inspection of the pile, foundation, edges and fringes. We identify visible damage as well as underlying weakness, then recommend work that is proportionate to the rug’s condition and intended use.

Depending on the rug, restoration may include securing sides, repairing fringes, rebuilding missing areas, re-knotting worn sections, treating moth damage or stabilising weakened foundations. Materials and techniques are selected to suit the original construction rather than applying one standard repair method to every rug.

Persian, Oriental, antique and other handmade rugs can require very different approaches. Age, knot density, wool or silk content, dye behaviour, previous repairs and the strength of the foundation all influence what level of restoration is sensible.

London Rug Restoration Workshop & Collection Service

London customers have the advantage of access to one of our specialist workshop locations. Rugs can be assessed for problems such as damaged fringes, worn selvedges, holes, moth damage, threadbare pile and weakened foundations before any repair is recommended.

For antique and collectable rugs, the objective is conservation as well as repair. We aim to retain sound original material wherever practical and avoid unnecessary intervention that could alter the character of the piece. Repairs are matched to the construction of the rug rather than using a standard technique across every item.

Collection and return can be arranged across London, including central, north, west, south and east London. Where appropriate, customers can also discuss workshop visits with the team before bringing a rug in.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Client Testimonials & Success Stories with Our Premium Rugs

We have a beautiful Afghan

We have a beautiful Afghan, silk rug that after 30+ years was showing wear across the end fringing. From my first engagement with the Pars Rug Gallery team I could not have been happier. I received an accurate assessment, professional clean and excellent repair – at, what I regard to be, a very fair price. I was kept appraised throughout of the progress of the work. My much loved rug now looks fantastic – thank you to the Pars Rug Gallery team.

Jane Watt

From start to finish it was very easy

From start to finish it was very easy to work with the company. I have a large 12ftx 9ft rug that needed a very deep clean and moth treatment. It was recommended to also have some mending done which I hadn’t thought of and WOW! What an amazing repair job!!!! Incredible!!!! I am 110% satisfied with the service and price and look forward to enjoying my rug for many years!

Emily Cooper

Excellent restoration

From first contacting Pars Rug Gallery to seeing photos of the work in progress and then the final result, it has been a wonderful experience. When Arash came to see our family’s old Persian rug, it was in a sorry state with badly worn patches and edges missing. He was able to tell us all about it and explain in detail the work that could be done to restore it. After 5 months, the work has been completed and I am delighted with the result. The rug is beautiful with the true workmanship and colours now revealed.
