Rug repair in Geneva

Fringes, selvedges, holes, moths: our craftspeople restore your oriental rug to its original splendour. Free quote.

A hand-knotted rug crosses the generations — provided it is repaired in time, and in the proper manner. For more than fifty years, our family house has repaired and restored every kind of oriental rug in Geneva, bought from us or elsewhere: everyday pieces, kilims, antique rugs and collector's items.

What our craftspeople repair

We treat every wound a rug can suffer: worn fringes and selvedges, holes and tears, moth-eaten areas, loosened knots, worn edges. Antique collector's pieces receive a full restoration, true to the original.

Every intervention is done by hand, with wools and silks chosen to match your rug exactly — shade, material and fineness of knotting.

Repair in the proper manner

Repairing a hand-knotted rug means repeating the gestures of the person who knotted it: taking up the warp and weft, re-knotting knot after knot, rebuilding the border. Patient work, handed down through the generations.

A professional clean beforehand is essential to guarantee lasting work: it reveals the original shades and lets the materials be matched perfectly.

Geneva, western Switzerland and beyond

Our workshop receives your rugs at the Rue de Hesse showroom in Geneva — four floors in the heart of the city. For bulky or fragile pieces, we arrange collection and return to your home, throughout western Switzerland.

Frequently asked questions

Can a moth-eaten rug be saved?

Almost always. The affected areas are re-knotted true to the original after treatment, and a moth-proofing protects the piece from then on.

How much does rug repair cost?

It depends on the fineness of the knotting, the materials and the extent of the damage — which is why the quote is free and drawn up with the piece in hand.

Do you repair rugs bought elsewhere?

Yes, without distinction: we repair every oriental rug, wherever it came from.
