Expert Online Oriental & Persian Rug Appraisal | Oriental Rug Salon
Welcome to the world of Oriental and Persian area rugs, where each piece tells a story of craftsmanship, culture, and history. If you’re a rug owner, understanding the value of your cherished area rug piece is crucial, whether for insurance purposes, resale, or simply for your own knowledge. In this blog post, we’ll explore what appraisers look for when evaluating Oriental and Persian rugs and how you can obtain a professional appraisal online through Oriental Rug Salon.
What Appraisers Look for in Oriental and Persian Rugs
Origin and Age
Our appraisers start by identifying the rug’s origin, as the place of manufacture significantly influences its value. We also estimate the rug’s age, as older rugs, especially antiques, are often more valuable.
Material and Craftsmanship
The quality of materials (such as wool, silk, or cotton) and the level of craftsmanship (knot density, dye quality) are critical factors in determining the rug’s worth. We also explore the quality of the wool, silk, and dyes used to create the area rug.
Condition and Restoration
The rug’s current condition, including any wear, tear, or restoration work, plays a significant role in its appraisal value.
Historical Significance
Rugs with a rich history or those that are rare or unique in design can have increased value. We dive into the history of the area rug, its construction, and the meaning of the motifs to decipher the rug’s story.
