Restoration and Cleaning

Wadsworth’s is the appointed restorer to the Athelhampton House Collection, Dorset.

Wadsworth’s offers a comprehensive, specialist restoration and cleaning service.

Professional hand cleaning should be carried out once every two to three years to ensure the appearance of the rug is maintained and that dirt and grit are removed from the pile to prevent wear. Wadsworth’s undertakes this specialised work.

We undertake repairs to piled weavings, flat weaves including kilims and soumaks, tapestries and textiles. Wadsworth’s utilises the experience and expertise of a team of highly skilled restorers, all of whom share a passionate interest in carpet and textile art, care and preservation.

Wadsworth’s can undertake a wide range of restoration work, which include securing fringe ends, rebinding side cords, repiling worn areas, patching or reweaving holes and rejoining tears. More complex work can also be performed such as stretching, mounting and lining.

Wadsworth’s is happy to advise on any aspect of care and repair and can conduct on-site visits if required. We will always carefully assess the viability of any repairs or cleaning, and will consider the value of items prior to embarking upon restoration work.
