4C Services in Lebanon for Carpet & Rug Repair, Restoration & Cleaning Especially Persian and Antique

Yes. We evaluate weave, fiber, and dye stability; then stabilize edges and ends, reweave missing areas by hand with matching yarns and knots, and use conservation techniques to preserve original dyes, silk pile, and delicate foundations.

Cleaning removes soil and stains. Repair fixes localized damage like fringes or edges. Restoration recreates structure or pattern to conserve historic integrity.

Targeted stain work uses controlled dwell times and dye-safe agents. The goal is to lift contamination while preserving original color and texture.

Silk gets low-agitation techniques, cool water, and rapid moisture control to keep luster and prevent distortion.

Yes. We remove larval debris, stabilize weakened areas, and can reweave missing pile or foundation after thorough cleaning.

Persistent odors, dull colors, gritty dust when tapped, curling edges, fringe loss, dye transfer on a damp cloth, or visible splits are all signals.

Yes. Construction, backing, and fiber blends differ, so inspection determines wash method, drying approach, and repair options.

Frequency depends on traffic and environment; many households benefit from professional cleaning every 12–24 months, with more frequent care for entry and dining areas.

Absolutely. Flatweaves need gentle washing, blocked drying, and edge stabilization to prevent fraying and distortion.

Post-wash grooming aligns pile and restores sheen without adding coatings, preserving the rug’s authentic hand.

Use a breathable pad, rotate seasonally, vacuum with suction-only on delicate pieces, and address spills quickly with blotting—never scrubbing.

Yes. We test dyes for colorfastness, use fiber-specific chemistry, and wash by hand when needed to protect natural dyes, silk pile, and delicate foundations.

We pre-test dyes, control pH and water temperature, stabilize fugitive colors, and dry under monitored airflow to stop migration and bleeding.

Rug repair focuses on local problems such as damaged fringes, open edges, small holes or buckling so the rug becomes stable and safe again. Rug restoration goes further and is designed for antique, handmade or high-value pieces that need deeper structural, visual and colour work. Restoration may include rebuilding worn areas, reconstructing patterns, correcting distortion and carefully improving faded or uneven colours to bring the rug as close as reasonably possible to its original appearance.

Restoration is usually worth considering when the rug is antique, handmade, high-quality or has strong sentimental value. In these cases, restoring the piece often makes more sense than trying to replace it with a rug of similar level. For low-quality or purely decorative rugs, replacement may be more economical. After inspecting your rug, we explain the condition, the level of work required and whether the restoration cost is reasonable compared to the value and importance of the piece for you.

Yes, we restore antique and very old rugs such as Persian, Oriental, Turkish, tribal and kilim pieces, as well as fine wool and silk rugs. During inspection we study the structure, fibres and previous repairs to decide which conservation and restoration techniques are safe for that specific rug. The goal is to stabilise and improve the piece while respecting its age, character and original weaving style rather than trying to make it look artificially new.

Rug restoration can address a wide range of issues including large worn or threadbare areas, missing or distorted patterns, damaged borders and fringes, previous poor repairs, distortion and waves, as well as certain types of colour fading or mild bleeding. For each rug, we evaluate what is structurally and visually possible and prepare a customised restoration plan. Some extreme damage may only allow for conservation and stabilisation rather than full visual reconstruction, and we explain this clearly before starting.

The cost of rug restoration in Lebanon depends on the type of rug, its size, age, construction complexity, the extent of damage and the level of restoration required. Restoration is more detailed and time-consuming than standard repair or cleaning, so prices are calculated individually for each project. After a detailed inspection, we provide a clear project-based quote that explains the proposed work, the expected result and the total cost before you decide to proceed.

Rug restoration typically takes longer than simple repairs or cleaning because of the level of detail involved. The timeframe depends on rug size, design complexity, damage level and the type of restoration needed. Some projects may be completed in a few weeks, while others with extensive structural and visual work can take longer. After assessing your rug and defining the restoration plan, we give you an estimated schedule before any work begins.

The aim of restoration is to stabilise the rug and significantly improve its appearance while respecting its age and character, not to erase all signs of time. Many rugs can look dramatically better, with clearer patterns, more balanced colours and corrected damage, but a very old or heavily worn piece may still show some signs of age on close inspection. During the assessment, we explain what level of visual result is realistically achievable for your specific rug so you know what to expect.

In some cases, restoration can soften the appearance of faded or slightly bled areas and bring colours back into a more harmonious balance through careful, targeted work. However, the possibilities depend heavily on the type of dyes, the fibres and the history of the rug. Aggressive recolouring is avoided because it can damage the piece or look unnatural. After testing colour stability, we explain what kind of colour and tone correction is safe and realistic for your rug.

Yes, part of the restoration process often involves correcting or replacing previous poor-quality repairs that look obvious, distort the pattern or weaken the structure. When possible, we remove unsuitable additions and rebuild the area using techniques and materials that are more faithful to the original construction of the rug. During the inspection we show you where past work is causing problems and explain how it can be improved as part of the overall restoration plan.

To start, you can send us clear photos of the full rug, close-ups of damaged or worn areas, approximate dimensions, any history you know about the piece and your location in Lebanon. Based on this, we can usually say if restoration is appropriate and give an initial indication of the work required. The next step is a detailed physical inspection at our workshop or via arranged transport, after which we prepare a restoration proposal and quote for you to review before approving the project.
