The rugs are made from natural fibres and their quality, which is measured by square centimetres, is extreme. The carpet in the main hall is four square metres and the one in the dining room is eight. In the latter, the knot is much smaller, which makes the drawings more intricate.

Due many years of wear and tear, the rugs needed to be restored. The objective of the three experts who work in the restoration is to repair and strengthen its fibres as the "weft" is what gives them strength and elasticity. It is then a case of redoing the weave to give consistency to the carpet once again, replacing the lost knots with new ones.
