Pickup & Delivery From Short Hills

Complimentary pickup across Essex, Morris, and Union counties.

From our Short Hills atelier, we hand-collect rugs in our own truck across northern New Jersey — Essex, Morris, and Union counties. Every rug is wrapped on-site and returned to your home with the same care.

Our team also collects regularly across Summit, Morristown, Saddle River, Chatham, and Madison. Pickup is complimentary — never a third-party courier. Our team wraps every rug at your door, transports it to the atelier in our own vehicle, and returns it to the same room it came from when the work is complete.

Antique Oriental, Persian & Silk

Why Horizon

The atelier difference.

The three choices that separate a master rug artisan from a standard cleaner.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

They returned an heirloom Tabriz — the colors look exactly as my grandmother described them.

Common Questions

Questions, honestly answered.

What clients ask us before they hand over a rug — and how we answer.

How do you clean an antique oriental rug at the Short Hills atelier?
Every rug brought into our Short Hills atelier is hand-washed on our dedicated floor by our master artisans. We start with a full inspection, dye-test every color, then hand-wash with pH-balanced soap and temperature-controlled water. Antique and silk pieces are washed individually. The rug dries flat on slatted frames — never tumbled or hung — and is finished by hand before delivery.
How long does the rug cleaning process take from a Short Hills pickup?
A standard hand-wash takes 7 to 14 days from the date we collect your rug. Heavily soiled antique rugs, dye-bleed correction, or oriental rug restoration work (reweaving, fringe binding, foundation repair) typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. Every rug gets the time it needs — we never rush a piece to meet a machine's schedule.
Do you clean Persian, oriental silk, and antique rugs in Short Hills?
Yes — they are our specialty. From the Short Hills atelier we hand-wash every major weaving tradition: Persian (Tabriz, Kashan, Heriz, Isfahan, Bijar, Sarouk, Nain, Kerman), oriental silk (antique and contemporary), Turkish (Oushak, Hereke, Konya), French (Aubusson, Savonnerie), Tibetan, Moroccan, and Chinese art-deco. Each tradition gets a process appropriate to its construction.
