How we care for your rug, by hand.
From your home to our atelier — and back to your door, in better condition than the day it left.
We come to you.
Arrange a complimentary pickup by phone or through the form. We schedule a time, wrap your rug in our truck, and bring it back to the atelier.
Hand-washed in our atelier.
Every rug — antique oriental, Persian, silk, fine wool — is inspected and dye-tested, then hand-washed by our master artisans on our dedicated atelier floor. Never by machine, never off-site.
Returned to your home.
We wrap, transport, and place your rug back where it belongs — in better condition than the day it left, fully insured the entire way.
Meet the Cohen family.
Horizon is a family of master rug artisans. From our ateliers across the Northeast — serving Manhattan, the Hamptons, Westchester County, Greenwich, and Stamford — we hand-wash and restore the rugs that mean most to the families we work with. Antique oriental, Persian, silk, and fine wool.
Oriental rug cleaning, oriental rug restoration, color restoration, moth treatment, and the antique wash — done by hand, in our atelier. Every rug is inspected and dye-tested before any work begins, then finished and returned to your home in better condition than the day it left. No machines. No outsourcing. No exceptions.
Every tradition.
Every condition.
Some specialize in one kind of rug. We don't. Antique Persian, oriental, silk, and modern wool — and every condition we've seen — get the same hand-washed care on the same dedicated atelier floor.
Request PickupThe atelier difference.
The three choices that separate a master rug artisan from a standard cleaner.
By hand.
Every rug is inspected, dye-tested, and hand-washed by our master artisans on our dedicated floor. Never a rotary machine. Never a shortcut. The standard for fine rugs for centuries — because nothing better has been invented.
In our atelier.
Never shipped to a third-party wash plant. Never out of our family's care. The same artisans who picked your rug up are the ones who hand-wash it, finish it, and place it back in your home.
Insured end-to-end.
Every rug in our care is fully insured from the moment we pick it up to the moment it's back in your home. Transparent quotes. No surprises. Complimentary pickup and delivery throughout the Northeast.

Letters from across the Northeast.
A few of the rugs we've cared for — and the families who trusted us with them.
“They returned an heirloom Tabriz — the colors look exactly as my grandmother described them.”
“A 1920s Heriz I thought was beyond saving came back better than the day my parents bought it.”
“Our clients trust us with eight-figure homes. Horizon is the only atelier I send their rugs to.”
