Hand-washed antique oriental rug cleaning across the Upper East Side.
Park Avenue, Madison Avenue, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill — the Cohen family has hand-washed antique oriental rugs across the Upper East Side for more than a decade. The antique Persians, Oushaks, and Aubussons that fill UES pre-war co-ops and townhouses. Conservation-grade by master artisans. Complimentary pickup, hand-washed in our Westchester atelier.
The antique orientals of the Upper East Side.
Pre-war Park Avenue co-ops and Madison-side townhouses hold one of the densest concentrations of antique oriental rugs in the country. Antique Tabriz and Kashan medallions in formal entry halls. Antique Sarouks under dining tables on the third floor of a townhouse. Antique Aubusson in primary bedrooms above Madison; silk Hereke in libraries facing Central Park.
The Cohen family has hand-washed every one of these traditions across the UES for more than a decade — coordinated with doormen, freight elevators, and house managers in the way only an atelier that has worked these buildings for years can. Each piece is inspected, dye-tested, and hand-washed individually in our atelier, by hand, never by machine.

A few of the rugs we've cared for — and the families who trusted us with 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.”
