Featured Preservation Project
Costikyan received a Preservation Award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy for our work at The Frick Collection, one of New York City’s most distinguished cultural institutions. The project brought together museum carpet installation, historic interior preservation, and the custom reproduction of a Safavid Dynasty Herat rug. Our specialists installed new carpeting throughout the museum and recreated the historic rug with exceptional accuracy in color, scale, pattern, and period detail.
Since 1886, Costikyan has provided historic carpet restoration, custom rug fabrication, and conservation-minded textile services for museums, landmark properties, designers, collectors, and private residences. The Frick Collection project reflects the standard behind every Costikyan installation: careful planning, specialized handling, and uncompromising craftsmanship that protects significant interiors and preserves important textiles for future generations.

Standard cleaners typically use one-size-fits-all methods. We customize every step, from inspection and fiber-specific cleaning solutions to hand-washing delicate pieces and climate-controlled drying. Our artisans combine 135+ years of heritage techniques with state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring fine rugs receive the specialized care they require.
We tailor our approach to each rug’s materials, construction, and condition. From pH-balanced solutions to climate-controlled drying, every step preserves structural integrity, color vibrancy, and fiber quality. Five generations of experience with museums and estates means your investment receives proven, expert treatment.
We assess each stain’s composition and the rug’s fiber type before treatment. Our specialists use targeted techniques for delicate materials like silk blends, hand-tufted wool, and natural dyes, with a history of success in removing many embedded stains while protecting color integrity and fiber structure that standard cleaners may compromise.
Absolutely. We provide white-glove pickup and delivery throughout the I-95 Northeast Corridor (NY, NJ, CT, MA, PA, and beyond). We carefully move furniture, securely transport your rug, clean it in our state-of-the-art facility, and return it protected. Your rug will highly benefit from our complete facility process—including water extraction, centrifuge cleaning, and controlled drying.
Yes. We offer Fiber-Shield® stain protection after cleaning. This preventative treatment repels liquids, reduces wear, and protects against damage, keeping your investment looking newer longer. Ask about our whole-home maintenance programs.
