For more than 30 years, Ahmadi Rug has been Chicago’s trusted authority for Oriental, Persian, antique and hand-knotted rug restoration. Whether your rug has suffered from moth damage, pet stains, color bleed, water exposure, or decades of wear, our artisans restore fibers, dyes and structure with a level of craftsmanship normally found in museum conservation studios.
Every restoration begins with a detailed inspection of weave structure, tension, fiber integrity, dye stability, fringe condition, selvedge health, and pile profile. From there, our team custom-designs a restoration plan that respects the rug’s heritage, origin and value.
Serving Chicago, Skokie, Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glenview, Northbrook, Highland Park and the entire North Shore.
