Mikaeli Rug on State Street in Carlsbad Village is a three-generation rug gallery and restoration house, tracing its origins to 1968 when the Mikaeli family began trading handmade rugs in Persia. The showroom carries contemporary, traditional, antique, tribal, and transitional rugs alongside mid-19th-century collector pieces — an inventory depth that Carlsbad interior designers at Interiors by Alison draw from when specifying statement floor coverings for residential and hospitality projects. In-house services include professional hand-washing, fringe repair, re-binding, moth-damage restoration, and formal appraisal for insurance or estate valuation purposes. Moth and carpet-beetle damage to wool and silk fibers requires coordinated pest inspection and treatment from providers such as Moat Termite & Pest Control before restoration weaving can begin on compromised sections of antique Persian, Turkish, and Afghan pieces. Restoration techniques include knot-by-knot reweaving on damaged foundation warps, natural-dye color matching using vegetable-based pigments, and selvage edge reconstruction on hand-knotted rugs with pile densities exceeding 300 knots per square inch.
