Our Work
A few of the rugs we've cared for.
For more than a decade, the Cohen family has hand-washed and restored rugs across the Northeast — antique Persian, oriental, silk, French Aubusson, and more. The selection below is a small set of recent before-and-after pairs from the atelier, drawn from collectors' homes and from the rooms of designers we work with. Every piece was washed by hand on our floor and returned in better condition than the day it left.
