About Report

Born in Sis, Armenia in 1894, Hachadoor Tulanian immigrated to America in 1911, settling in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. It was there that he joined his brother, Mamigon, who had arrived a few years earlier. Both had acquired a knowledge of rugs as young boys in Sis, where rug weaving was a common trade.

Cleaning Report

After lathering, your rug is rinsed several times until all the shampoo and extracted dirt is removed. This is where our cleaning method differs from an in-home process or from steam cleaning. The only way to completely remove ALL traces of shampoo and dirt is to rinse the rug fully, which we are able to do.

Pads Report

Needle punched fibers coated with a water based adhesive. We recommend this pad for area rugs on top of carpeting to prevent creeping and wrinkling. For use on all surfaces. Will not damage floors. On carpeting, white side is placed down. On hard surfaces, place white side up.

Before and After Report

We've been spending the last several months giving the rugs a deep washing and attending to many needed repairs. One example is a runner from the Lobby. The corner at one end was badly damaged. We recreated the design and stabilized the fringe (photos below) in addition to hand wrapping both edges of the rug with new wool.
