Restoration by Costikyan has completed the restoration of The Liberty Rug. The historically significant carpet was inspired by the initial floodlighting ceremony at the Statue of Liberty on Dec. 2, 1916, at which President Woodrow Wilson officiated.
The restoration of an antique Laver Kirman carpet from the collection of Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif., by Restoration by Costikyan required a deft touch, deep knowledge and almost 8 months to complete.
