Hand-washed antique oriental, Persian, and silk rugs — pickup across Wainscott.
For more than a decade, the Cohen family has cared for the rugs of Wainscott — the oceanfront strip along Beach Lane, the Wainscott Stone Road corridor, the older houses around Wainscott Hollow, and the summer-rental belt along the highway. Modern designer pieces, antique Persians, and the rugs in the rental houses that see a new family every season. Complimentary pickup, hand-washed in our atelier, returned in better condition than the day it left.
Rug care across Wainscott.
Wainscott is the in-between hamlet — technically part of East Hampton Town, geographically between Bridgehampton and East Hampton village, with a character distinct from either. The oceanfront strip along Beach Lane holds some of the most expensive houses on the South Fork. Inland, around Wainscott Hollow Road, the older year-round houses sit alongside a steady inventory of summer rentals.
We see modern designer pieces in the new oceanfront builds; antique Persians in the older year-round houses; high-traffic wool from the rental inventory after a season of changing tenants; silk in the primary suites of estate houses. Each one is hand-washed in our Westchester atelier on the dedicated floor, by the same artisans, with the same care.
- Heavy summer-rental foot traffic
- Off-season storage preparation
- Water damage from oceanfront homes
- Sun-fade on south-facing rooms
- Pet stains after a season of guests
- Sand and salt-air wear
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 Wainscott.
Arrange a complimentary pickup by phone or through the form. We schedule a time that fits the season, wrap your rug at your door — Wainscott Stone Road, Beach Lane, the Hollow, or anywhere within the Wainscott town boundary — and bring it back to our Westchester 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.
Memorial Day to Labor Day — and the quiet months after.
Hamptons pickup volume runs in two distinct waves. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, summer-rental wear and entertaining-season spills come in faster than at any other point in the year — we ask for two to three weeks of notice on non-urgent work. Then from late September through November, closing-up clients book the year's hand-wash and storage-prep visit before the houses go dark.
Pickup from Wainscott routes through our Westchester HQ atelier — the round-trip is a full-day run, so we schedule early in the season and coordinate with house managers and rental agents wherever possible. Off-season pickups (October through April) are easier and faster to book.

“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.”
