Excellent job cleaning a pair of old Persian rugs. My wife and I came across these rugs visiting a relative, and they must have been sitting rolled up in a spare room for 10+ years. Inumerable moths had used them as a breeding ground / graveyard, and they were covered in a 1/8" of dust. Suffice it to say, they were disgusting and our skin crawled just looking at them.
The owner surprised us with his visible delight in handling and exploring them, despite their condition. He charged a fair price to clean them, and took time to praise their craftsmanship and tell us a little of their history. More, he did not reccomend any expensive repairs to several worn patches and holes. He had a real common-sense approach and basically told us "these are rugs. They're meant to be used and the wear is part of their history."
The shop is a little off-putting since it's also the owner's house. You ring the bell and wait for him to come down into the first floor "showroom." He had a ton of rugs for sale but we just came for the cleaning. Great guy, very down to Earth and honest. read more
