A four-generation New York conservator handling antique rug restoration, museum-grade cleaning, and wall-to-wall carpet work.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The stated workflow begins with photography, dye and weave analysis, and a written condition baseline before treatment. Cleaning is tested on a small corner, while losses and worn borders are described as being rewoven by hand to match the original knot and pile. The page also exposes an accession-style register with entries such as “1921.118 // Oushak Weave,” and publishes practical guides on restoration, fitted-carpet care, and choosing a repair shop.
