Expert Care for Antique and Delicate Rugs in Jacksonville, FL
Antique rugs are more than floor coverings—they’re family heirlooms, investments, and works of art. That’s why they require expert care to preserve their beauty.
At Mussallem Area Rug Specialists, we’ve been cleaning, restoring, and protecting antique rugs since 1897.
Why Antique Rugs Need Special Care
- Fragile Fibers – Wool, silk, and cotton can weaken over time.
- Natural Dyes – Many older rugs use vegetable dyes that bleed if cleaned improperly.
- Handmade Construction – Each piece is unique and requires careful inspection before cleaning.
Our Proven Antique Rug Cleaning Process

- Gentle hand-washing with eco-friendly soaps.
