Antique Rug Restoration, Cleaning, Valuation and Sales

Bart Blok has been practising rug restoration since 1977, eventually setting up his own business with his wife Kay in 1982.

The small family company is now based in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. Bart’s passion for the conservation of antique rugs led him to be a founder member of the Rug Restorers Association.

With clients ranging from private individuals to more prominent organisations such as The National Trust, York Minster and The Bowes Museum, Bart is able to help with a wide range of restoration projects. Whether the rug is historically important, or important to the owner!

His guiding principles are the highest standards of workmanship, prompt and efficient completion of work and sound and sensible advice on what or how much to do, based on a thorough knowledge of his field.
