Antique Rug Repair and Restoration: Reviving Timeless Beauty
Every antique rug carries a story woven into its fibres by generations past. At RugMaster London, we don’t just restore rugs; we restore heritage.
For over three generations, our family has been trusted by collectors, museums, and heritage estates to repair and restore antique rugs with the highest level of craftsmanship. As proud members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, we bring traditional expertise, artistic sensitivity, and modern precision to every restoration project.
The Art of Antique Rug Restoration
Antique rugs are far more than decorative pieces — they’re works of art, woven with symbolism, regional identity, and cultural legacy. But time, light, and use can cause fading, wear, or structural weakness.
Our antique rug restoration service in London revives these treasures using authentic hand techniques and traditional tools. Every repair honours the rug’s origin and craftsmanship — preserving its soul as well as its structure.
Our Expert Restoration Process
1. Detailed Condition Assessment
We inspect each rug for dye strength, structural integrity, and weave type. This determines the safest and most authentic approach.
2. Stabilisation & Cleaning Before any restoration begins, rugs are
gently hand-cleaned using our antique rug cleaning process, removing dust and oils that can hinder restoration.
3. Hand Reweaving & Fibre Repair
Missing or frayed areas are hand-rewoven using original weaving methods to recreate lost designs with precision.
4. Authentic Dye Matching & Wool Sourcing
We hand-blend traditional vegetable dyes to match the rug’s original tones. For consistency, we source wool from antique rugs of a similar age and region, ensuring texture, shade, and authenticity.
5. Edge Binding & Fringe Restoration
Frayed fringes and edges are repaired or replaced by hand to reinforce structure and aesthetics.
6. Finishing & Final Inspection
Every rug is gently brushed, softened, and inspected under daylight for colour accuracy and symmetry before delivery.
