What We Evaluate in a Rug Appraisal
- Country and Region of Origin- We determine where your rug was woven — such as Tabriz, Kashan, Isfahan, Qom, Shiraz, Baluchistan, or Jaipur — and provide historical context.
- Age & Condition- Antique rugs (over 100 years old), vintage rugs (20–100 years), and newer handmade rugs are assessed for age, wear, and overall preservation.
- Materials & Weave Type- We evaluate wool, silk, or cotton fibers, as well as knot density (KPSI), weave quality, and foundation structure.
- Dyes Used- We analyze whether the rug uses vegetable dyes, synthetic dyes, or a combination — all of which affect value.
- Rarity & Design- Unique or rare motifs, tribal symbols, medallions, or signed pieces add value — we help identify them.
- Market Value- We provide an accurate current market value for insurance or resale purposes, based on comparable rug sales and condition.
