We are proud to work in partnership with a number of leading organisations within the UK.
Historic Houses Association
The Historic Houses Association (HHA) represents over 1,640 of the UK’s privately and charitably owned historic houses, castles and gardens. These are listed buildings or designated gardens, usually Grade I or II*, and are often outstanding. Many are considered to be iconic symbols of Britain’s unique heritage.
Members range from iconic stately homes such as Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle and Castle Howard, to more intimate houses such as Traquair in Scotland, and Treowen in Wales. Most are still private family homes. The Rug & Carpet Studio is a corporate member of the Historic Houses Association. Our knowledge of historical carpets and settings and our specialist conservation and restoration skills allows us to offer a whole range of services to historic houses. These range from conserving a carpet in its current condition to prevent further deterioration, cleaning a carpet to sourcing replacements or weaving reproductions.
The National Trust
The National Trust was born in 1895 with the aim of opening up and protecting the beautiful places that people love and enjoy. Centuries on and their commitment to conservation has never been stronger.
As Europe’s largest conservation charity, conservation is a critical part of the National Trust’s strategy and we are delighted to work with them on conservation projects on a number of their historic properties.
