Moth treatment and damage repair across Greenwich, CT.
Moth damage is the most preventable, most under-treated risk an antique rug faces. The Cohen family has treated moth-damaged rugs from Greenwich estates for more than a decade — Backcountry barns, antique-filled Bedford-adjacent homes, oceanfront properties stored over the winter. Larvae identification, calibrated antique-wool treatment, foundation rebuild where moths weakened the structure. Complimentary pickup throughout Greenwich, Cos Cob, Old Greenwich, Riverside, and the backcountry. Hand-treated in our Greenwich atelier.
Where Greenwich rugs meet moths.
Two Greenwich rug populations carry the most moth risk. The first lives in the backcountry — Round Hill, Stanwich, John Street — where the older estate houses keep antique Persians and Aubussons in formal rooms, carriage barns, and pool houses that are quiet for months at a time. The second lives in the village and along the waterfront — Belle Haven, Old Greenwich, Riverside — where the rugs travel between primary residences and seasonally closed wings.
Both populations call us. Heirloom Oushaks rolled in attics, antique Tabriz that summered in a closed wing, silk Hereke that came back from a barn with webbing along the back. Each rug is hand-treated by the same master artisan on our dedicated atelier floor, with treatments calibrated to its age, fiber, and dye stability — never machine-washed, never fumigated in bulk.
- Backcountry barn-stored rugs
- Estate inheritance pieces with hidden moth damage
- Off-season-stored rugs in pool houses & carriage barns
- Active webbing & larvae casings in closets
- Foundation loss along warp & weft
- Selvedge gnaw on rolled, stored rugs
How we treat your rug, by hand.
From your Greenwich home to our atelier — and back to your door, free of moths and rebuilt where they weakened the weave.
Inspection & identification.
We collect your rug from your Greenwich address — Backcountry, Belle Haven, Cos Cob, Old Greenwich, Riverside — and inspect by hand for live larvae, casings, and frass. Active infestation is isolated on arrival so nothing else on the atelier floor is exposed.
Calibrated treatment, by hand.
Hand-wash with treatments calibrated to antique wool and vegetable dyes — never harsh chemicals, never blanket fumigation. Each rug gets a wash plan written for its age, fiber, and dye stability by the master artisan.
Foundation rebuild + return.
Reweave where moths weakened the structure — warp, weft, selvedge, fringe. We return the rug to your Greenwich home with a written storage and rotation guide so the next infestation never starts.
